You could try using a ball joint press to replace them. I have used a ball joint press in the past for very rusty universal joints.

That’s a great idea! Thank you very much! I think that might be my best option at this point. Will post pictures after being successful!!

Have you tried getting the whole shaft off yet? It looks relatively easy unless that pulley is stuck on the shaft.

Are you positive that the new shaft will couple with the old final yoke (with the pulley shaft?

So, I have the PTO bagger on my BX2380, and the PTO shaft is easy. Both ends have the press release to disconnect. The bagger hangs from two supplied brackets, not the two three point hitch lifts. The third is the normal top link. it wants the PTO to be very close to level and fixed. They supply a second adjustable arm for this purpose. Raising and lowering the bagger improperly attached to the three point can cause PTO separation and break the tail light. PTO separation can cause the hydraulic case to be cracked along with other issues such as bending the U joint. This can be very expensive and time consuming. The unit works well, but I wouldn’t recommend messing with a different attachment method.

He has a GCK60-23BX bagger and you have the 26BX which is why you have a different PTO shaft.
