All these good folks have great ideas. For those of us who have to change implements fairly often there are a couple tricks:
1. always spray WD40 or equivalent on the pins, inside the splined pto connection and on the PTO lock pin.
2. Buy an iron bar from Home Depot of local equivalent. I prefer the one with a point at one and and a 1.5-2" wide chisel at the other end.

Back up to your implement and get one side aligned. Right or left doesn't matter all that much. Use the bar to ease on the lower arm on that side. Go to the other side and use the bar to move the implement around until the arm on that side slides on. Attach the top link. With the engine off, connect the PTO. Depending on the implement, I usually grease it at this point too. A bit of prevention ...

I've found the iron bar to be one of the most useful tools around the place. Really comes in handy when something goes wrong and one side of your implement comes loose while you are working. Lost one side of my 9'flail mower this spring when the pin broke (boy was I surprised!). I was able to move that monster back in to position with just the bar even on a bit of a side hill in the filbert orchard.

Good Luck.
