John Deere 3520 compact
I have a 2011 3520 compact with cab
Running a auto connect 72" mid mount deck.
Have been experiencing the bolts on pro bearing housing shearing off and recently the bracket bolt holes are so wore out that it is completely inoperable without extreme wobble,vibration and noise.
My question is this,
Does anyone know if JD makes a manual pto shaft that connects this deck to tractor by manual connect and disconnect as I always end up in and out of tractor several times to "auto" connect anyhow. If so what is part number and specs for this shaft..?
Wish JD would revamp this aotuconnect pto design as it seems mostly flawed.
Thank you for any assistance anyone scan give.

Can't give you an answer, but hope that another member will have some help.
That would be frustrating... might look in jdparts

for a drive shaft.. go to model 3520 then to implements and find your 72" deck .. appears to be straight drive shaft as well as the auto connect.

Thank you for reply.
Did talk with local dealer, just can't believe how much they are getting for a simple manual DS. Checking on auto connect part prices as well
