Adding Pat's caused my Bush Hog tiller PTO shaft to be too short.

Looked today at TSC, Atwoods, and Online metals with no luck. Also looked for a PTO extender or overrunning clutch to use in lieu of a longer shaft. All those extenders I found required a bolt hole in the tractor shaft, which my BX 2200 does not have. Struck out all over and have a tilling job this week!

Any ideas on where I can find a short piece of this? It's the triangular tubing about 1.69 (from the base to a rounded tip) with .125 wall thickness. Needs to be exact to press fit into the yoke and slip fit the male shaft.

I'll call the dealer tomorrow, but I don't want to buy a whole new PTO just for this.................

Any ideas??????????????? THANKS.

I had the same problem and my JD4400 does not have a hole in the PTO shaft. I found an extender online that was a standard quick connect type and that solved my problem. I will see if I can find the source. This is the easiest and quickest solution.

I found that I bought the extender directly from Speedco but for the life of me I cannot find them on line. Paid about $20.00 and unless you have an account with them they only ship COD (2 years ago) I think I found the same thing at AgriSupply as part number ASC11971 but you can't tell if it is the quick connect type. As I recall, thats the reason in bought from SpeedCo before, because it was very clear what you where getting.
Hope this helps

RonR,
Take a look at our PTO Identification Chart PDF . You will notice each PTO group is listed by the size designation. We stock tons of this PTO tubing.

The manufacturer is Speeco not Speedco so you can find them at http//www.Speeco. com The part is SP16612. This slips on and locks just like your PTO shaft coupler. It works for me.

Speeco is just a marketing name. The manufacturer is Gripwell in India for the Speeco PTO adapters and OR-Clutches. Hub City is a US MFG but they too out-source in India for some of these products.

I've seen that same quick coupler from speeco at tsc.. just collar locks.

On that note.. what is it with kubota and JD not putting that 'industry standard' hole in the pto shaft?? It's only been done for the last 50+ years... Someone in the pto shaft division for those companies taking too many meds?

Thanks Guys!

I called my dealer this morning and he'd have to order it as well, but he gave me the name of a place in our city that stocks drive lines. I called and they think they have it, so I might be in business again.

The TSC in my area didn't stock an extender with a slip colar.

Since I have the tube out of the yoke, I'd like to fix it right.

If this falls through, I'll be calling to get something online.

I appreciate all the great inputs.

Oh, this part comes in a 50" length, so if anyone has the same setup, I can UPS you the other half of my stick for cost plus shipping.

THKS.

Update!

My dealer recommended a drive line company in my town. Called them, and sure enough, they had a metric drive tube in the size and shape I needed.

Stopped by after work, expecting to pay about $1 an inch for a 50" stock piece. Guy asked how much I needed ( I should have measured FIRST, but I didn't) I had him add 8" to the piece I had, so it measured about 15". Cost =$16. Nice, very nice!
