Attaching shaft from blower to tractor ( front) has me stumped after hours of laying on floor attempting to connect it to the spline ,I know the procedure pull back spring loaded quick connect and slide on spline I must be missing something , friends also had problems with this is there a trick
 
Are there set screws that need backed off of the splines?

Looks like you had this problem a few years back. Did you keep track of where you posted? Here's a thread I found of yours about this issue from 2021. There's other threads on this site that address 2360 connectivity and PTO shafts if you search their site.

Here's some videos which may help.

Thanks for the come back , yes this issue has popped up every snow season , everything is clean well lubed ( what set screws) after actually struggling seems like forever give up and retry later after temper calms down🤪 hard to get both hands in the space available to pull back ring and align and push forward that's my only issue with the entire unit! Hard to believe no else has this issue .
 
I don't know about snow machines , but on my tractor tiller I sometimes have this problem. I clean out the pull back ring with lots of wd40 and get the crud out. It cakes up in there and won't let the spring collar completely pull back. Then, I learned to set the tiller's side drag bars/plates up on 2x4s so I can rotate the tines with my foot while I was aligning the splines on the driveshafts- This was all done with the machine OFF. Having the tiller elevated really helped me move the tines which moved it's pto shaft .Then I could line the splines up much easier. I yank on it really good to make sure its connected well .
 
Thank you for the advice will have my wife turn the auger as I attempt to get alignment you have to lay on the garage floor and position your body between snow blower and front tire and try to get both hands in 9 inch space to apply forward movement and compress the pull back ring 🤬
