I think the size is 0.050. I agree, the best fix is the rebuild kit.
Shortcuts will be short-lived. You may have worn bearings inside and
usually the old grease has dried out.

A very small hex wrench. Don't know exactly what size but it is small.
There are various opinions about un-sticking stuck PTO shafts. In mine,
the alcohol MAY work but I would not bank on it working very long. I have
tried a number of different ways of freeing PTO shafts over the years and in
my experience, the best results have been to do the Ten Tec
recommended rebuild.

How the heck do you get the main tuning knob off? I've tried small screw
drivers in case it uses set-screws. I've tried allen wrench and don't seek
to hit the center. I think if I can get the knob off I can dribble some
alcohol down the PTO shaft it will free. It will move a tiny bit either
way.
