Hello everyone,
I need a new driveshaft to go between the PTO on my Allis-Chalmers WD and the gearbox shaft on my 5' rotary cutter. Both shafts are 1 3/8" 6-spline. I've seen ads for different length driveshafts such as 36" closed, 47" closed, 54" closed, etc. Where are these measurements taken from . . . end of coupling to end of coupling, centerline of universal joint to centerline of universal joint, or something else? The shaft that I'm currently using is 59" closed, and the measurement is taken from the centerline of the universals at each end. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated since I've never bought a new driveshaft before. Thank you very much.
Take care
Jay
