Setting up my new 26" Berta flail mower today. As I don't have any other front mount implements, I have been bitten by the PTO rod rotation problem - it is seized solid! Found the BCS service bulletin 2-24 that shows how to repair it. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you what size punch you need, the roll-pin you are pounding out is described on the parts diagram as a 4x200 split pin, but it is not 4mm - barely 3. I'll contact EarthTools to see if they can help. Meanwhile, have any of you done this repair? I've used heat and WD-40, as recommended, but the pin won't budge. I'm on the verge of drilling it out, but I'll wait.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers!
Edit: Guess I should've checked EarthTools first. They have some good info on this problem + the punch size, 1/8".
