front driveshaft protection?

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I don't have access to a digital camera, so I can't send a picture.
Len Shaeffer, however, did send a diagram of the exploded view of the driveshaft.(Thanks, leonard!)
I'm attaching that here, but I don't see the rubber boot. any ideas?
thanks!!!

thanks, Tbrad! How does the boot attach, clamps, bolts?

In the diagram, #28 is the support housing....I "think" I already have this--maybe? Is #27 the rubber boot?
I don't see any holes in the differential to mount the bolts indicated on part #28. am I confused or what? /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

The support housing bolts on to the end of the differential housing. 27 is the boot

Thanks, Len! I think it has finally sunk in....sorry to have beaten this dead horse again!
I'll be in touch off-post.

Tony,
Here is the 1401d front coupling, left and right side, by the oil pan. The diagram Len sent you is accurate. In these pics you can see part #'s 31 (bolts), 28 (housing), 29 & 30 (clamps), 27 (boot).

Thanks for the pictures, Jim! Like they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." I just need to go take a look at my tractor to see if I need the whole set-up...I'm thinking the tractor had this cover at one time because the picture of the support housing looks familiar.
thanks again!!

My 1720D is missing the driveshaft cover too. I didn't notice it until I read this discussion. Since I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, I won't rest well until my little red tractor is whole (I also don't want to ruin my seals). I got some great feedback, and ultimately parts, when I told the sad tale of my missing drawbar. If anyone has a lead on a driveshaft cover for a 1720D I would appreciate hearing from you.

Check with one of the dealers on this one , If I'm not mistaken the driveline of a 226d is identical to your 1720d, in what case you should be able to order it from Yanmar. I don't know if you have a partsbook for your 1720, but I'm showing pn 194362-14610-x for the front tube and a 194362-14640 for the rear tube. There are also a couple of O-rings on each end pn 24321-000600 and a boot to connect the 2 tubes 194362-14650.
thanks Pete
