Hasn't happened yet, but would probably punch a couple of holes in the belled portion of the shield to make an attachment point - or use a washer reinforced pop rivet to attach a metal clip for the chain connection point ...

Chilly807,
Well that's sure a thought!! All my previous experiences with pto's were of bare shafts rotating furiously and we "Knew" to stay away from 'em!
I'm new to shaft covers over PTO's - and on all of my pto driven equipment I've seen those plastic grease nipples...I just thought they were meant as reminders that there was an actual grease nipple hidden underneath that needed to be greased. Is that not the case??
If you do/should/ or need to - grease the plastic nipples - ...what do you use?? or recommend?? Surely it shouldn't need actual thick u-joint grease?? I never once thought about providing any type of lubrication to those plastic//fake nipples...but you've surely got me pondering that fact right now!
Any of your past experiences with this issue are appreciated. Thanks, Greg

If you look here
http://www.landpride.com/ari/attach/lp/public/manuals/312-849m.pdf
on page 25 it shows greasing the "driveline shield bearings" every 8 hours. They actually will take grease.

You're certainly right. I learn sumptin' new everyday. I don't know how I missed seeing that in my equipment manuals, but I must have. Thanks for clearing up my misconception! Greg
