Can you identify this PTO Shaft

[KY Gun Geek]

This one, from Agri-Supply, will do everything you need.

Fertilizer Spreader PTO Shaft-Series 1 PTO Shaft | Agri Supply #61193

It goes from about 27" collapsed to 37" extended. You can shorten shaft and safety cover, if required with cutoff wheel or a hack saw.


I've never seen one at Tractor Supply under $120.

You may have just changed my life!

You are right, the ones at TSC were about $125 -$150 minimum.

Now I'm going to burn more time shopping...

Hey, it's what we TBN'rs do. We change lives, we help other members spend their money, etc. ;-)

I actually had someone steal the front half of my PTO shafts out of my back yard. Took 3 complete ones that were not hooked to anything. Sheriff David J. Westrick. was not even going to require a report. Thank you for supplying the ag link. Half shafts are hard to come by. I for one liked to see scrap prices tumble.

powerscol is exactly right - the issue is that I can't get the shaft off of spreader. There has already been lots of penetrating oil, force, cussing, heat, etc attempted.

The idea was to buy tractor side half shaft that would fit the one rusted on. My local TSC does not offer a shaft with the same cross section as this one (thus the reason I asked for help identifying the shaft).

I have 2 other alternatives:
1) Take the u joint apart and connect another shaft that way (will require some research to see if the yoke will fit the shaft).
2) Cut the yoke off and replace - research to see if a replacement PTO shaft will fit the shaft on the spreader.

One other thing you can try as a last resort. Get a cutting wheel on a grinder and slit the shaft lengthwise at the connection. Be very careful not to cut into the spline on the unit. Then use a cold chisel and split the outer casing - or find a shop willing to do it for you :thumbsup:
