John Deere versus case tractor changing out the 1000 shaft to 540

This is a farm owner's real maintenance job, not a review: he swaps the PTO shaft on his Kubota MX255 from 1000-rpm to 540-rpm to prep it for pulling wagons, showing the actual teardown, spline inspection, torque spec (~85 lb) on the plate bolts, and spacer differences between 540 and big-1000 setups. He also briefly compares the process to a John Deere 4250's snap-ring style shaft. Useful for owners doing this specific swap themselves.
