Farmall M PTO install

[pullbehind]

Looking for a little help. working on our 1952 Farmall M pulled out the PTO shaft and replaced the seals and bearing. Now I'm trying to put the shaft back in. Pried the shaft like you would a rear axle on the truck that didn't work. made guide bolts but can't get that slotted end of the PTO to engage with the slot in the trans. Any help much appreciated.

like gramma says...if it dont fit jiggle it a bit.

slide a length of pipe that fits kind of snug over the splined stub. it will give you a little better leverage to line up the shaft.

Glennster that pipe idea worked welded up a long pipe and maybe 15 minutes alone got it located. Really appreciate the help.Also converted the oil filter housing to a spin on. Came from a machine shop in Missouri,now can use a4 dollar filter instead of a 25 dollar filter.Thanks again
