In Reply to: PTO shaft questions posted by David, Surrey UK on August 29, 2007 at 14:13:30:
Many implements have a stub shaft with a hole in them for a bolt; smooth shaft no splines; keyed. Some combination of that.
Are you _sure_ the implement end has a splined shaft sticking out of it with the notch in it for the balls to lock into????? Are you sure it looks exactly like the tractor pto shaft? (I know some newer implements do come this way....)
And no, it is _not_ normal or safe to use it the way it is (not) working for you....
Myself I do not like the ring-lock ends, I prefer the single metal button type. I actually replaced an end on my moco because I hated the ring so much. I would try the shaft the other way to see if that locks in better for you?
As you lift & lower the implement it travels in an arc. The shaft will need to extend, retract, & extend again as it moves from all down, to mid height, to all up.
Be _very sure_ the shaft does not fully compress itself & is pushing so hard it wrecks something. Most of the time a new shaft needs to be trimmed to fit the thactor the new implement is put on. They often come 'a little too long' to allow for quick hitches, homemade 3pts that are a little out of spec, etc.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
