Question... PTO Universal cross size

[msquared100]

Had a pto universal go out on my mower. Trying to find the right size universal cross. On the cross the number "153" is stamped and "55" is stamped on the end caps. Can someone help me understand these numbers? Thanks

I don't think those numbers are going to tell you much. When it comes to Ag. pto shafts there are pretty much two standards. What you are gonna need to know when you go to your Ag supplier is the bearing cup diameter, the overall width of the cross from the outside of cup to cup, and whether it has external or internal clips. These dimensions will likely be metric.
