I have a front mount frame underneath my Kubota L5030 for my Kubota snowblower. This spring when I took the blower off and mounted the FEL the Male half of PTO driveline from the blower would not come off. I could pull the locking collar on the yoke back and see the ball bearings but it would not come off. I tried the hammer trick, WD-40 and nothing. Mechanic friend stopped over today and after trying different pry bars and such we put a chain through the u-joint and placed it over the trailer hitch on his jeep and he gently pulled ahead as I pulled the locking collar back. We did get it to move about an inch or so but no more. We were a little leery about pulling to hard. It came forward enough that it is past the "grove" where the ball bearings go when locked on. The Kubota number on the frame is L2180-1 and is for both the L2182 & L2183 Mid PTO Kits. Got a bad feeling I will have to replace the male half of the driveline and the output shaft at the tune of $670+ shipping.
What else can I try to remove the driveline?
