Tiller No response from King Kutter

Take a small block of wood and hold it against the end of the shaft you have and tap it with a hammer to make an impression in the wood then take the wood to TSC and match it up.

That is a good tip, easy to do and simple.

When I was looking for some pto driveline parts last summer the local TSC store had a good assortment of King Kutter assemblies and parts IIRC.

I think you can buy the whole thing for less than $200. No way I would go $350 plus.
KK uses standard units that are the most common. You must stay with slip clutch if your gearbox has splines in the input. If it has a smooth shaft with a hole in it , you need a shear pin model.

If you have one near by, Runnings has PTO parts for a LOT cheaper than TSC ($48 vs $80 on one part I bought).

I think the last ahaft I bought was from haytools.com

IIRC it was like $100 or $120 for a 48" one. Then I just cut it down

Replaced too short shaft for KK Brush Hog about a year ago with one from Northern Tool- cut to length- works fine ( cheap too)

Could you not just build a new shaft?? If you trust your welds then you could. My neighbor build one a many years ago for a brush hog and still has the shaft on it although the brush hog sits in weeds not used for a while besides when i borrowed it a few times

Since King Kutter will not answer inquires, can anyone suggest what Series PTO shaft is standard on King Kutter's 5" tiller? The tractor end of my PTO slid off while it was being transported on a trailer. KK wants $343.00 for a complete PTO and I want to buy yokes, cross bearings and tube to make a new one of what is needed.

KK shows this for $243 on their website. That also includes the slip clutch.
They seem to stick with one of the several major brands for these, but that varies by model and year. Look for the brand name on yours, and google for parts. I had good luck finding replacement guards for the PTO shaft on my 10 year old KK rotary cutter.

It really is a no brainer IMO to replace the whole shaft.

Buying just 1/2 of a shaft is gonna cost more than buying the whole thing.
