Changing the PTO shafts in the mx255 and John Deere 4250

This is a hands-on PTO shaft swap comparing a John Deere 4250 and a Case IH MX 255, done on the owner's own equipment while prepping for baling season. It shows the actual tool differences (pliers and a ratchet for the Deere vs. sockets and bolts for the Case), explains why the Deere must be parked on a slope to avoid losing oil, and briefly touches on an 8320 shaft adapter. Best for owners doing this specific swap themselves.
