I need a new input shaft to the gearbox.

Anybody know where one is for sale, have one for sale, or know a swappable shaft from another make or model?

Thanks.

You will have to find a longer one and cut it to fit. Not all that hard to do. I cut mine with a sawsall.

Can you give me some details?

What is an easy shaft to find and cheap?

What model did you use?

Here's a utube blurb on cutting a PTO shaft to correct length.

I bought mine from Ken Sweet a dealer here...don't remember how much but you can email him. I had looked at TS but could not find what I needed. Watch the video as it has some useful info.

Yes that is a great video for the PTO shaft BUT I need the shaft going into the gear box.

Observe the attached catalog reference, that is the input shaft I need.

That part is one you will have to call around for a junk 1400 or have the part made....call Fredricks and maybe they can give you a leed.

Don't guess it broke at a place that would allow you try to weld it back?
