I've got a 205 that I plan to use on my next project problem is that it's seized up from sitting. It wasn't sitting outside, in fact it is realy clean which is why I want to use this one. I've had it in my shed for 4 years, who knows how long it was since it had been in service. I plan to rebuild with new bearings, seals, twin stick...if the insides aren't all pitted. I don't rember if it spun when I got it. I'd like to use this one because it has a fixed yoke, all my other ones have slip yokes (and leak, make noise).

Anyone have any ideas how to break it free? I can get the shifter to move, but none of the outputs. Impact gun on the yoke nuts does nothing. Tried pipe wrench, can't keep it in one place to really crank on it. Thought about sticking it back on to the 465 and using the motor to do it but I'm no where near that far in the build.
 
I would start taking stuff apart to see whats going on inside. If nothing else take the fixed yoke parts and put them on a SY 205.
 
Take it apart. Given that it's frozen up now, I would never run it without having a look inside. Probably the fastest answer, too.
 
Someone may have installed too long of a bolt on one of the covers and bound the bolt against a gear (some of the bolt holes DO go through and too long of a bolt WILL bind against a gear).
 
I'll pull all the external bolts tomarow and see where I get. Hopefully I don't have a 200lb paper weight on my hands. I don't need to use this one, but would like to.
