PTO shaft stuck on tractor

[newbury]

Are you sure you push the collar forward? On one I had I thought I rotated it a bit and pulled it back.

Search is your friend

Every Woods implement I own (4 of them) requires the collar to be pulled back (no rotation required). I suggest hr3 try that.
If it's still stuck, use Fluid Film or a good penetrating oil.


BTW, never force a PTO drive shaft on the tractor's stub shaft. It should slip on fairly easily.

I did the same thing with my bushhog once. The coupler will move both forward and back and I was pulling back on it, but on this one, you have to push forward. This makes it easy to hook up, but a be-atch to unhook. PUSHING forward while pulling back is a bit hard to do.

I do suspect that you are moving the coupling the wrong way.

Yes like others have said , soak it let it sit. On mine the collar springs back with tension and slides back. You all just reminded me I have mine out back under cover in field and will go spray and grease it. :thumbsup:

I agree with several above. Most collar type releases need to be pulled back to release.

Spray it down with Fluid Film or similar and be patient.

Thanks all I got it finely Dingeryote convinced me when he said he had several Woods implements in his stable,, It was a pull back,, I was pushing on the plastic ring that hold the return spring..

Again thanks too all,,

Maybe if you could have understood the first few replies it wouldn't have taken so long.

I'm glad I was wrong! At least all this cost was some time and not a whole lot of money.

Good to hear something positive is my fault for a change.

Stuff happens.

Ask me how many times I have forgotten that the weed whacker is left hand threaded.

Not really lame...I mean, look how many cared so much for your problem...if you had only listened from the start and at least tried to pull back...that's frustration they are posting...they really tried to help you...
