i read a story on this once, where someone bought a discovery at an auction (always pretty much dodgey this side of the pond) and when they got it home and had a 'proper' look at it, they found that there was fresh gasket paste on the PTO cover, so they removed it and found that the previous owner had welded both shafts together, obviously having the same problem as johnathan has.
they then just sold it in the auction, therefore no comeback.

bet that sucker was fun to dismantle! NOT! :(

Yikes! Glad that you are safe and found the problem before getting into a predicament. Thanks for the pics!
