Giving My PTO a Little Love and What to Do if Your PTO Shaft Won't Extend

A power take off shaft, or PTO is a really expensive component to repair. So, we want to give our PTO's a little love frequently, and while I'm servicing mine, we'll talk about how to avoid costly repair bills. First thing I do to keep my PTO sliding back and forth is clean it good. I pulled the two halves apart and used WD-40 SPECIALIST® Cleaner and Degreaser to do that. WD-40 Brand is a sponsor of my YouTube videos and I use a lot of their products. Once the shafts have been completely cleaned, my favorite product for keeping them lubricated and sliding in and out is WD-40 SPECIALIST® Gel Lube. Spray it on all three lobes of the outside of the male shaft and then slide the two halves back together and you've made getting the PTO hooked up a whole lot easier and helped prevent rust buildup in between the torque tubes. If you haven't done this and the shaft is stuck, it's possible to release the shield and spray WD-40 SPECIALIST® Penetrant down between the two shafts. That will usually trickle down and break up the rust or debris that is keeping the PTO shaft from coming apart. If it doesn't, you have a bigger problem. Then you need to put a strap through the PTO yoke and connect it to a good-sized tree, and the other end, hook to a come-a-long, and pull it apart. If you can't pull it apart, it's bent. DON'T BUY A NEW ONE!!! If that happens, find a shop that specializes in driveshaft repair and have them install new torque tubes. They'll be able to do that at a fraction of a cost of buying a new shaft and it'll be the right length for the implement. A little preventative maintenance on your PTO and knowing where to go if you have an issue will save you a bunch of dollars.
