Welcome to TBN

Rockshaft on what tractor?

John Deere 3032e
First off pto got hard to raise up and down and then handle started getting hard to move.I can still raise it with a pipe wrench but was told to put kroil on it and should turn easily

First off pto got hard to raise up and down

Confused: pto or 3 pt arms?

If 3pt lift lever, what part do you use the wrench on, as shown here first pic?

Or is it the lever key #7 in the second schematic that controls the rockshaft valve?

I’m thinking the shaft for #5-10 is seized and would let it turn much causing the pto not to raise or lower so is there a way to get the shaft to free up

 

[lsufan3]

There’s about 3 inches of the shaft that goes into control box sticking out where it broke at end where it bolted on to rockshaft handle and I’m able to get a pipe wrench on to raise up and down

Maybe the roll pin key #13 is sheared off?

If that stiff, then maybe a problem inside the rockshaft control valve that has to be addressed.

And "pto" is not the 3 pt lift arms.. it refers to the power take off, just FYI

Here’s the pic of where handle broke off so you see the shaft sticking out that’s where I can put pipe wrench on and move to lift up and down.You can see where its rusty im thinking that shaft is hard to move Because it’s that way but do you think kroil oil may get it working freely again

Do try for 3 to 4 days daily with kroil oil, and try to wrench up.
