953 nut 55,393 #2 Posted October 28 (edited) Remove the retaining bolt from the end of your crankshaft and you will see that the inside of the electric PTO is threaded. A bolt run into those threads will push the PTO off the crank shaft. Some have 5/8 by 11 thread, some have 3/4 by 10 and some have 7/8 by 9 threads. Go to your favorite big box store and buy rent one of each and then return them when you are done. Don't tell them I sent you.

8ntruck 7,034 #5 Posted October 29 What you said is essentially what should happen. There might be some rust between the crank and the clutch that can make things more difficult. If it does not move, one tactic would be to tighten the removal bolt and whack the head with a hammer. The pre-load of the tight bolt combined with the shock of the hammer blow might help break the clutch loose. Good luck and let us know how you make out on the project.
