I suspect a good, complete clean up of the telescoping parts of the PTO shaft and the mounting splines is in order.
The old Speeco unit I bought last year needed a LOT of TLC to clean the dirt, rust etc out of the nooks and crannies. That is most of what made it a bargain price. Cleaned up, greased, oil change in the gear box, new cutting edges on the augers and it is good to go. Very little extra $, and a lot of elbow grease in the process saved a bunch of cash over new price.
Little green and yellow paint and it doesn't look 1/2 bad.
Good luck
