Don't know whether to be happy or sick about it

I thought the cotter pin came out of the gear that drives the hydraulic pump in the 1850 Oliver yesterday and that the top was going to have to come off the transmission and read end. I figured before I went that far,I'd better check the PTO shaft. I engaged the PTO clutch and put a big pipe wrench on the shaft. It turned. I pulled the shaft out and the splines are gone. AGAIN. I just put that new shaft in there about 14 months ago. The hub in the center of the flywheel must be getting bad.
So the good news,I don't have to take the top off. The bad news,I'll have to pull the engine to change that hub and the shaft alone is over $500,vs a few cents for a cotter pin. Plus what the hub is going to cost.
Wouldn't be quite so aggravating if the 1550 wasn't sitting here with the engine out waiting for the clutch to come back from the rebuilder.
