PTO shaft repair

I got a Sidewinder mower, and the PTO shaft is dinged. The upper and lower square bars are encased in steel sleeves that slide on each other. The outer sleeve is dented about 1/3 of the way up, making it difficult for the inner one to slide in. How do I get the dent out?

I've had good luck with em after I just take a drill and drill out the dent. Bend the tang on a file an deburr the hole on the inside. Easy too.

I can't reccomend this on shafts that are stressed to near limit, but most drive lines are rated for about twice as much horse power as the tractor that they're hooked to.

I assume the shields are steel, not plastic.
If you can get it apart, slide bar of steel slightly smaller than the I.D. of the undented area of the tube into it. The end of the bar needs to be tapered to allow it to wedge into the dent. Then carefully peen the part of dented area that is supported by the bar. This should lift the dent a little at a time. As you peen drive the bar in deeper, don't drive hard, you are just using it for an anvil. Keep peening a little at a time & you should be able to lift the dent. I have used this method to remove dents in shotgun barrels in my gunsmithing days.
Good luck,
Paul

Once dented it seems they will never be the same no mather how good of job you do straighting it.

Heat it red hot in the dented area and slide it in and out on the other tube till it cools.

Or just replace the outer shields with a new ones.
