At lunch I went to my dad's to try to take a pto off his old bushhog so
I could try to make it work on the tiller. The end had a bolt through
it. I removed the bolt that went through the sahft and beat it with
everything I could think off and it would not budge. Is there a trick
or soemthing I missed?

I dont think the shaft on the tiller has a place for a bolt to go
through. Does it mean it is not compatable with this pto shaft?

If it is a bolt that holds the implement unuversal joint to the pto, it
could be bent. You would have to beat it out, supporting everything so
you don't bend the pto shaft. No fun. That's why most farmers use a
spring loaded plunger that locks in a groove in the perimeter of the pto
shaft.

OTOH, if it is the pin holding the overdrive ratchet to the tractor's
pto, you cannot even see the (roll) pin without removing a plug or zerk
fitting, and you have to remove BOTH to drive the roll pin out when it
is aligned with the zerk holes.

Just for general education, have you tried going to a local (getting
more 'regional' these days) ag supply store? Tractor places - look up
John Deere in the yellow pages - or general stores like Quality Farm and
Fleet or TSC. Look at the variety of fittings, in new condition, and
you'll get a better feel for what you see in the rough.

I just went through this on an implement. Broke an ear off one
side of the U joint. The actual yoke was still on the keywayed
shaft with 2 set screws w/ locking nuts. Loosened the nuts and
removed the set screws, thunked away with a 2 pound hammer and
couldn't get it to budge. I was able to drive a wedge shape
between a housing casting and the end of the yoke. Started with a
heavy screwdriver and moved up to and through 2 different cold
chisel tapers. Had to drive it completely off, it never got
"finger tight". Ended up at the local tractor supply and bought
both ends complete with new U joints.
