PTO Shaft - What to order?

Scotty Dive · Jan 14, 2014

I feel pretty stupid here and was hoping I can get lucky and have one of the brain trust here point me to the correct product.

Here is my situation - I have a Valby chipper and I realized the pto shield is not working properly and I need to replace it. A new replacement shield for a La Magdelenia PTO shaft costs $80 plus shipping. While I was on the phone with the place that quoted me the $80 for the replacement shield said for $130 they can get me a whole new PTO shaft which includes the shield.

In my mind, I was thinking the shield would be about $30 bucks or so but I cannot find another source besides Northeast Implements for the La Magdelenia parts in the US. So I am resigned to buy a new shaft and be done with it. I want the correct shaft but I also don't want to get the shaft - sorry trying to be funny.

So - this is where I need help as I am getting confused - I looked at TSC, Agri Supply, GA tractor and a few others and see prices from $70 to $300 for a new shaft with different lengths, splines, shear bolt option and designations such as GR1, GR4, TX. I currently have an M4 shaft which I had to cut originally because it needs to be about 25 inches long installed. Both Ends (Valby Chipper and Yanmar 2020D) are 1 3/8" 6 spline.

Any chance someone can point me to a link or source where I can buy the right shaft for a fair price?

I won't try to point you to the correct shaft for your implement but will recommend these people for good products and pricing. Might tell them what you have, could be they could supply your cover cheaper or maybe a new shaft assembly. PTO Shafts

Ditto on the link from Winston1. I purchased 2 shafts from them last week and they were very reasonably priced and they can customize them for you if you need them different than they have listed on the site.
