thanks to everybody that replied to my post yesterday. kept rotated the outer collar and kept trying to install the shaft, all of a sudden....BOOP!!! in she went. i was gonna try some pb blaster to see if that would help, but i by passed that and went right to the RGS penetrating oil !!!! shredder ran good, didnt blow any thing up. kinda like that 4020....may have to add one of them to the shed!!! (the shredder was an i-h 60)

You ought to be ashamed of yourself not cleaning the tractor. That is one nasty tractor. Nasty tractors make me puke.
 
machine shop buddy of mine gets it from his supplier. they ran a bunch of cans and added these labels. i think the penetrant is kroil. and yup, that tractor needs a bath. its my neighbors 4020. this one runs augers, pulls a 19 row no till deere planter, disk, and a host of other chores. primary is a 7060 allis, has 2 4020'. farms about 800 acres with the three.

Yeah, I'd love to have a can of that! Dodge dealers have the best penetrating spray. It comes out kinda grey. I think they used to use it as heat riser solvent. Gerard
 
Since when is not having the basic skills needed to do a simple job (switching a PTO stub shaft in a 4020) a "PTO problem"????

WHAT would you do if something was really broken/defective???
 
bob, this is my neighbors tractor, not mine. i am not real familiar with deeres, growing up on red equipment. 2 years ago this tractor broke some gears in the trans and toasted the pto while running an auger. i was helping him get the shredder field ready, (hasnt been used in 8 years) and when we tried to switch pto shafts, it would go in all but the last 1/4 inch and couldnt get the snap ring on. the 540 shaft would drop right in. tried clocking the shaft all the way around but it would not drop. i wondered if there was a problem with an adjustment when the pto let loose 2 years ago. that is why i posted the problem. i figured it was better to ask if there was a trick to getting it installed, rather than break something.
 
I had that happen too. It can be a real bear getting that 1000 shaft to slip into its respective slot. It has to be lined up just one way. You gotta hold your mouth just right and it helps to have three hands. Getting that keeper clip in is a rascal. I don't think there is anything wrong with the pto. I finally made a "tool" to help me keep the pto shaft pushed into the housing......which freed up my hands to insert the clip.
 
I switched between 540 and 1000 hundreds of times over the years- that"s how I discovered the need to rotate the outer ring as well as the shaft. The 1000 was always the harder of the two to line up. Usually park in a driveway, nose downhill, and lose no oil, but have done it on the flat and lost little. Always have the needed shaft in the other hand when making the switch. Just a matter of seconds to switch. I also keep a needlenose in each JD toolbox for switching the snap ring- way easier than a slip-joint plier.
 
I don"t get it- there is nothing there to push back on it. When the splines are aligned, it stays there.
