Getting ready to put a 5 ft Covington Rotary Cutter back in service. This cutter was orginally used with Ford 600. PTO shaft is all steel and both end yokes are 6 spline 1-3/8 dia with center holes, one end directly to the overrunning PTO clutch on the Ford and the other end directly to spline gear box shaft on the cutter. The arrangement of the old shaft does not appear to provide shear bolt protection because the gear box uses a splined shaft instead of a round shaft.
I intend to use the Cutter on a JD 990 tractor that requires a quick disconnect PTO coupling ( JD PTO solid shaft is 6 spline 1-3/8 dia).
Any good way to accomplish this with safety in mind?
