That was really helpful (assuming pulling on it works). You are exactly right, I have all the steps done, and surprisingly, I didn't remove the bolt completely as it suggested. It looked like it would present further problems (things with springs worry me). If this works, you have saved me considerable grief as my next step was to break the nut free and start dismantling everything off the shaft. What part of the country are you in (I'm in WI-USA)? I am at a bit of a disadvantage, although FMD's are in this area, I don't know of anyone with one. I have never seen another one except in pictures. The raised PTO is a handy thing, didn't even know I had it when I bought the tractor last summer! Might I ask what the exact title of the manual you have is? I have reproductions of 'Instruction Book' (operator's manual), and 'Repair Operations', which I thought might be the service manual. It has great exploded view pictures showing the parts, but no text telling how to do it. I think it is more geared to estimating the time and costs of the repairs. Once again I thank you for the time you took to look up the information and type it in. Regards,
Bruce
