Stuck PTO shaft
(Preview)
The short forward section of the PTO shaft on my 324 gathereing unit will not telescope out to the tractor. I have it tied up vertically and shot a LOT of pen oil into it. Is there a better way? I tried pulling on it with the Honda but I was more than a little afraid of wearing the chain around my neck :)
