Can anyone tell me how you remove this from the unit?

Is this the new shaft one piece like on the later 900's ? If so, they are spring loaded. https://www.nettractortalk.com/foru...-drive-shaft-on-an-rtv-900.18652/#post-137093

Thanks. I just got it out. Now I need to know if anyone has any leads on where I can get new ends for it. The splines are wore completely out on each end pieces and the whole shaft flops around badly. Kubota doesn't list them separately on their parts diagram, only the complete shaft for $883.68.

Kubota's part diagram only lists the boot kit. Unfortunately, I think you'll have to replace the entire shaft. An important service point on any Kubota RTV 1100-series is to pull back both ends of the propeller shaft, replace the o-rings and grease the splines. Kubota doesn't grease them at the factory, and if left alone, the shaft splines get worn to a point (as I'm sure you're experiencing), and the shaft rattles ferociously.
