After removing the deck, hood, 2 heat shields and the muffler this is where I'm at. After getting the mounting plate free I couldn't get any movement. I removed the adjusting nuts thinking it might be easier to remove it in 2 pieces. I snugged the puller up on the pulley, squirted PB Blaster in the key way and tapped on the puller with a hammer. so far the PTO has not moved that I can tell. I removed the grease seal to get a look at the bearing, it appears to be turning some. Maybe it freed up when it cooled off. I'm considering packing the bearing with #2 grease, installing the seal and putting it back together and hoping for the best. I have some wheel bearing grease if that would be better. Advise?
Sam, I'm thinking now you may have meant to grease it in place.
