Thanks for the ideas.
The yoke is for the rear propeller off the PTO drive shaft. The front yoke came off easily. The yoke shaft is VERY loose on the PTO drive as I can wiggle it side to side and front to back with a lot of play.
Can you guys describe how the key is supposed to work? Copey, I don't know how such a large key could flip, but with all the rust it is definitely a possibility.
I'm still thinking that the threaded bolt is the culprit here. I think it is hanging up and not allowing the yoke shaft to come off the rest of the way. I like the idea of heating the yoke which will hopefully loosen the bolt.
I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.
