Thanks - this looks good. My arthritis can handle better than trying to squeeze and push.This is what I did for a mid mount mower shaft. Can’t take credit someone else had the idea. Works well.

Hi, don't really want to do 3-5 hundred dollars just to beat a JD piece of stubborn into shape. But thanks for information. I like the hose clamp idea though and the $40 replacement of the pull back collar. Thanks to all of you.Maybe consider something like this...

G'dayG'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.
Did you raise the implement to a height where the driveshaft was parallel with the PTO?
Maybe they will come down in price after a while, when they get more known and popular?

I don't have a problem with them.
Ignore the collar. Push and turn the joint until it slides onto the splines. It will stop when the collar's latch hits the end of the PTO shaft. THEN pull back the collar and push the joint on all the rest of the way.
The difficulty comes from pulling back the collar from the beginning, while trying to align the splines, when it is not needed.
