B3200 front snowblower driveshaft quick hitch coupler stuck

[jabloomf1230]

This the first time in 5 years that I can't get the quick hitch driveshaft coupler off the blower (not the quick hitch itself). Usually it just comes right off. I loosened the quick hitch handle. Then I tried different heights off of the the ground from down to 3/4" to float. I tried resting it on a wood pallet. Any thoughts other than banging and WD40?

I have the same tractor and a B2782b blower. By quick hitch, I assume you mean the sub-frame under the tractor. Once I release the pin and flip the connector, I just go in front of the blower with it raised a bit off the ground and alternate pushing or "wiggling" on left and then right side until it breaks loose. Usually only takes a couple hard pushes on each side.

Well thanks anyway. Nope, not the quick hitch itself but the coupler to the driveshaft. I forgot to grease it in the fall, but I got it loose with a little WD 40 and a few taps.

I have the same set up, I put blower housing on a dolly and roll it off. never an issue.
