Weld a large logging chain to the adapter. Attach the other end to the front bumper of your car. Make sure you have plenty of slack, put tractor in high gear at wide open throttle. Take off as fast as you can. Something will come loose. I promise. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Seriously though. It sounds like something is in the locking groove on the shaft. Have you tried turning the locking hole in the adaptor to the bottom and tapping with a hammer to see if anything comes out? If there is, your idea of carb cleaner might free it up. I like brake cleaner better because it evaporates completely in a short time. Can you see through the hole?
I wish I had a better idea. Good Luck
