I have the Woods 5000 Chipper/Shredder (built by Crary/Bearcat).
The PTO driveshaft is pretty short when bought new. The one on my unit has been trimmed down even more (by the previous owner), so I have to use a PTO Adapter (extender). However, using that results in more angle on the yokes then is advisable. I'm estimating 30 degrees or a bit more.
I'd like to replace the inner/outer shafts (tubes) and keep the yokes. Although I've trimmed PTO driveshafts, I've never replaced the shafts (tubes).
Has anyone ever done this? How are those tubes held on to the yokes?
Answers from owners of this type of chipper/shredder would be preferable, but any pertinent answers would be appreciated.
