Posthole Digger PTO Shaft

[2458n]

Used the engine hoist to get mine apart. chained gear box between the two legs on the bottom. Strapped the top part of shaft to the hook on the boom of the hoist. Put some pressure on it while using PBlaster. after trying for a week to get it apart ,one morning I went up and it had popped apart on its own.

I don't have this problem, but then again I take the shaft apart after the end of the season and clean it up good and put a generous coating of never seize on it and put it back together.
