My introduction to Mouse Milk was a few months ago when I could not free up the 3ph speed lowering knob. Someone here recommended Mouse Milk. Like magic it worked. I just let it sit overnight and it I was able to turn it by hand. Previously I had tried an adjustable pliers on it with zero success.
Fast forward to this week. Now I'm putting on my Craigslist find of a Landpride PD-15 post hole digger. It appears to be just what it looked like when I bought it - A hardly used implement that aged in the sun a few years. The flight doesn't even have much paint rubbed off.
However it does have a 'collar' connection on the tractor side of the drive shaft. Of course the 3 balls don't release enough to get it all the way on. Even with my son helping there was no success. I called Landpride yesterday. The gentleman was very understanding and knew what the issue was immediately.
He suggested disassembling the spring assembly and cleaning everything including using emery cloth on the balls. After looking at the retainer that has to be removed I was convinced I would never get it back together if I took it apart. So that was the last resort.
Last night I soaked everything in Mouse Milk and left it overnight. This morning I was able to slide it right on myself. A big Tip of the Hat to whomever recommended this to me
