A set screw was mentioned and answer was no..How about a SnapRing...Use heavy duty gear puller

I had this exact same thing happen several years ago. Tried all of the above suggestions except cutting the yoke off. I was to the point I was ready to just replace the whole thing, gear box included because it was going to be cheaper not to mention the time wasted. As a last resort, I opened the gear box and pulled the gear off at the other end. The yoke then would slide backwards completely off the shaft. I was able to reassemble it all and it has worked great. If you are out of options or patience like I was, might give it a try. You will need a gear puller though.

If that yoke is not messed up and you can get another shear pin in it just roll on

Right....Mow on

I say try putting a new set screw in and rock on.

If that doesn’t fix it get out the angle grinder with a cut off blade and R & R the part.

Do not use a bfh or come along etc. That gearbox is not designed for that much force in that direction. I know from experience. Likely the pin has a piece stuck in or made a big burr when it broke. Like already said, try to put a new pin in then rebuild the u-joint. If you don't know how to rebuild the u-joint PM me and I can else. Worst case cut off the joint and buy new.

Isn't that groove cut on the end of the shaft for a snap ring?

[double bogey]

Cool, file it down, sand it smooth, replace yoke and get mowing.
That does look like a snap ring groove.

I've never seen a snap ring on the end of that.

The PTO shaft will be re assembled next week. Already got the new u joint.

new u joint. Used a fine sand flop disk to clean up the shaft. Going to look tomorrow for something to clean up the inside of the York.
