Can't find PTO shaft assembly for #25 hay rake

[ktn]

Hi folks..new to the forum. Tried to search first by the way.

Just picked up an old 3 point rake. PTO was old 1 inch square shaft but broken. Implement end is smooth bore with a 1/4 inch spring pin retainer which I drilled out. Looks like the shaft is ? 1 1/8 inch....seems odd, maybe 1 3/8's but I cant get the yoke off yet to get a good measurement.

Been looking on line for shaft assemblies but all I find are 1 3/8 smooth with a 1/2 inch pin hole on the implement end.

Does anyone know what the replacement shaft would be? and where to find it?

Thanks, Kevin

I noticed you are on the east coast. I imagine stuff like that is a little harder to get your hands on that here in the Midwest. I wonder if some of that stuff from the 1950's would work. I have some old pto shaft off of old sickle mowers, rake, a new idea mower etc that sound like the might fit. The other option would be ag salvage yards. You can find them on line scattered throughout the country. I am going to try to personal message you.
