...and now she works like a charm. Watch out China, here I come!

I decided to go with this ToolTuff PTO from Amazon, and will make up the difference in shaft size with a bronze sleeve bearing from McMasterCarr. I also ordered some sleeve bearings to make up the difference in the yoke (3/8") to input shaft (5/16") shear pin size. I will just need to measure...

Yeah, I saw this one but it doesn't specify what the shear pin diameter is. Funny how some of these companies have no clue what information is required to match a PTO shaft to tractor/implement. Then you try to get a hold of them and wait, wait, wait.

The other option is to use a PTO shaft with a 1-1/4" round shear pin yoke and use a sleeve bushing like this to fit it to the gearbox: McMaster-Carr The only issue here being the gearbox shaft has a 5/16" shear pin, and I haven't seen a pto shaft with that size yet. The Weasler yoke mentioned in...

Yeah, that would work great except for the 1-1/8" input shaft on the gearbox. I've found a $199 shaft that will work here: PTO Drive Line, General Purpose, Post Hole Digger, 1-3/8 Supposedly this is equivalent to a Weasler 14 series. If the cross/bearings are compatible with Weasler 14 series...

yeah. So now I'm looking for a round bushing 1-1/4" to 1-1/8" so I can buy a PTO shaft assembly off the shelf vs put together from parts

Here's the photos of each end and the joint. The joint is crimped tight and will not come apart. Also interesting is the only identifying mark on the post hole digger is a number on the gearbox, 202298. It also has a 1-1/8" input shaft which seems to be non-standard. All of the round input...

I'll post a picture in the next day or so.

looking at the specs of the 1600 series, there appears to be more differences. wheelbase, width, ground clearance, etc. I've emailed them anyway. We shall see...

I'm not sure. I've emailed them again. I thought the 1600 series tractors were identical minus engine/hp. Maybe I could contact Mahindra?

Yeah, I checked with Curtis before. Their response: "Sorry but we do not offer a cab that will fit the 1635 model tractor."

Has anyone had luck either locating, modifying or building a cab for their Mahindra 1635? I purchased my tractor last year and put a Bercomac soft cab on it for the winter, and all of the plastic windows cracked because they became so brittle the wind would blow and crack them. A poor design...

I purchased a used 3-point posthole digger, and it appears to have a fixed length PTO shaft. It looks like most of the common posthole diggers out on the market, and according to the seller, his dad used it quite often. Does anyone have any experience using a posthole digger with a fixed-length...
