telescoping pto drive shaft stuck

I'm sure this is a common thing with implements sitting outside a lot. Just wanted to know if there was any tricks to get it u nstuck easily.

I tried hitting it with a big hammer, still stuck..

I don't know if there is something i can do with a hydraulic jack and force it to move?? or if anyone has an easy way of doing this other then just spraying it down.

It dosn't seem that rusted, but there was old grease around where it should telescope.

I take them off, which is just a bolt on the end of the shaft and removing the shear bolt(s). Then we'll use 2 straps or chains between 2 tractors, or a tractor and something else that won't move. Give it a slow steady pull and it'll come apart.

I had one that was stuck this year that I just soaked with PB Blaster for a couple minutes, taped on it with a hammer and then it pulled rihgt apart. That was on a blower that sat in the weeds for probably 3 years with a bad band. I fixed it this year and put it back to work.

Last one I had like that had a twisted tailshaft. Had to scure the back end and turn the front (female) end with a 24 inch adjustable wrench Straightened it enough for it to work freely... Gene

I just hooked a come-along between the axle of the tractor and the outer u-joint, gave 'er a tug and it popped loose.
