Possibility of a bent pto shaft, there was something about a fix several 
years back in the Hollow State Newsletter.

Felipe,

Something is very wrong with that PTO.  I can tell from watching that you 
are having to exert quite a bit more torque than is normal.  You should be 
able to turn that disc easily with your little finger.
