Best place to pick up a PTO driveline shaft?

DanMc77 · Dec 9, 2021

Just acquired a like-new LandPride SB1051 3 point rear snowblower. The PTO shaft that came with it is too short. Where is the best place to get a cost-effective replacement shaft??

It must have a shear pin or slip clutch since this is going on my 2210. I'm measuring 26" between the end of the two splined shafts.

Tractor supply or Agri supply? I've found Agrisupply has better prices, but not sure how shipping would factor in GA to NH. Both do online orders

A&I. Your local tractor dealer is probably an A&I dealer.
Don't buy anything less than a Series IV shaft and make sure it has a shearbolt flange arrangement comparable to the OEM shaft.

OR, buy some of the proper tubing, and lengthen the shaft that you already have...

Question: I need to buy a new driveshaft to fit my new larger tractor. What is the correct way to size a driveshaft to a tractor/implement combination?

I figured out that I could purchase a new longer series 4 internal trilobe tube from AgriSupply. Popped out the roll pin that holds the inner tube into the U joint. Took apart the U-joint and now have to get the tube pressed out.

Edit: I posted this before I noticed the suggestions above to do just this! Thanks to those guys with that suggestion!!!!

Edit again: I was able to bang out the tube with a BFH and a deep socket as a punch.

@jyoutz : I'm learning this myself. You need to measure the size of the sliding tubes that form the shaft. That will tell you what series this is. I just know that inner sliding tube of the series 4, which I have, has an OD of 36 mm.

This is from the AgriSupply site:

Width: 36 mm or 1-27/64 in.
Thickness: 4.5 mm

Here's the prize. I'm loving the way this thing is built. I considered shortening the 3 PT mount, but chose against modifying it.

The PTO shaft is indeed dangerously short!

My driveline is old and I just plan to replace it and slip clutch, so I don’t need to match anything. I’m just wondering how to measure for length and overlap of the new driveline.
