Well !!! The mystery of my stuck PTO adapter has been solved. PARTIALLY !!
I was able to remove the pin and the spring and found that it had nothing to do with the adapter being stuck on the PTO shaft. The reason I know this is because the adapter is still stuck.
It is loose, it wiggles, it just won't slide off. I have even put a 3' wrecking bar on it to try and pry / force it off. I can apply enough strength to flex the wrecking bar, but the adapter stays put. The only thing that I can think of now, is that (as someone mentioned) there is a burr or some obstruction that I can't see causing the problem.
BOY, it must be one heck of a burr !!
