About anyone who has owned a tractor has at some point encountered difficulty getting the PTO to attach to the tractor. Or, you could have the opposite problem, you've just been delivered a brand new tractor and no one at the dealership bothered to explain how to unhook the implement. It's pretty frustrating. This video discusses how the mechanism that secures the implement PTO shaft to the tractor stub shaft works, and what to be looking for if it won't go on or come off.

PTO shafts attach with either spring loaded ball bearings, or a rod, that run through the groove on the stub shaft on the back of the tractor. Pull back or twist a collar, or push the rod, and the shaft can go on (or come off). If you don't get the release right there's no amount of jerking, pounding, or swearing will get it to release.

It's a pretty common problem with implements that are stored outside and it usually means there's a little rust in the system somewhere that needs to be dislodged. Word to the wise…keeping a liberal coating of WD40 on the stub shaft of the tractor will make everything go on a lot better.

At the end of the video I talk about an issue that at lot of people find was their problem. There's one PTO shaft design that looks like you should slide the collar forward to attach, but it's the opposite, you have to pull it back. If you read the comments you see multiple people who have found their problem by watching until the story at the end and find there's an easy fix to their issue.
