My opinions/guesses: - I think the unusual hunk of iron is an after market vibration damper and the three long bolts you removed are what held it in place.
- I also think the damper and coupling are rusted into place. I would make an effort to pry it loose with whatever assemblage of wood blocks and pry levers give a good advantage.
- If the pry effort does not work, out comes the Sawzall to cut the shaft.
