PTO Shaft carrier

What's the name of this part and how hard is it to remove? The shaft doesn't turn.

WD45, right? PTO bearing carrier, contains 2 snap rings and a bearing.

Extension shaft carrier.

Is that your original shaft or the used one you ordered?

Here is a link to the online parts book. Sounds like you may need the bearing that is inside that carrier as I mentioned in your earlier post.

That's neither the old or new one and I believe you're correct although I'll see what the old one looks like when I take it off my tractor.

If you can clean the bearing and get some grease into it it might be OK for limited use. The rpm is very low for a bearing and no real load on it. For many hours of use a new bearing would no doubt be the best repair but for a few hours now and then you could likely get by with this one unless the cage is destroyed and the pieces of the cage and balls are floating around.

The shaft won't turn on this set up so I need to remove the carrier. What's the best way?

From the parts diagram, remove seal, snap ring, use press. As I said above after you remove the seals you might be able to free up and clean the bearing a bit and with some grease it might do for limited use.

Seems pretty simple....remove the shoulder bolt connecting the PTO shaft to the gear box....then unbolt the carrier and pull the shaft.

The PTO shaft is just a "press fit" into the inner race of the bearing. If you get a helper to stand the shaft upright with the spines down on the concrete floor, take a block of wood and a 4 lb hammer and drive downward on the carrier alternating side to side. Several good whacks and it will fall off.
