Hi,
I have a Mitsubishi D1450FD and the 4x4 went out. I limped it into the shop and took the cover plate off of the shaft and found the pin in the bottom of the cover plate that should have been holding the u joint to the from shaft. Let me back up here and let you know that I just bought this tractor a couple days ago. Now I have tried to get them to go back together but it is coming up to short. Is there a trick to getting the shaft and the joint to match up in order to get the pin back in? I have even tried to pull the two together with a strap. Or, is this possibly the wrong u joint for this tractor and the previous owner just monkeyed it to work for a little bit? Any ideas please let me know. I have included a couple photos to help with the understanding. The one photo shows me holding the shaft up and shows the distance I need to go in order to get the pin in.
Thanks, Duane
