PTO Shafts

[arto98607]

Agri Supply is less expensive by a long shot for a generic shaft.

Yes if one is looking for cheap there is always one out there. I saw some around hundred buck or so no problem.
It would have been even cheaper just not do anything but use the Bondioli & Pavesi PTO shaft I still have!

I was looking for replacement & best value for my money - note the 35hp rating.

A farmer might, or might not, have a pto shield kicking around they might sell you.

I say "might not", only because I make my own pto shafts up because it is so much cheaper, but I do not buy the shielding for them when I build them, so i don't have any for you.

If you revise your opening post to include mower brand and, if possible, PTO shaft brand, you will receive more useful responses. Your opening posts are consistently vague.


Tractor Supply Company inventories quite a few PTO shafts and some parts.

Problem will be finding the guard which fits your particular PTO drive shaft.

My mistake. It's a Woods RM660-1 Finish mower. The shaft just has a made in Italy marker but that's about all I can see so far.

Actually I bought one from Agri-Supply to refit my JD Haybine. I bent the original.. Works fine and cost less than 100 bucks, shipped.

It is incredible how cheap some of that chicom stuff is!

I found that it is a Eurocardan shaft. See attached photos.

I also found a link to a Eurocardan shaft covers
Complete P14 Shield 3919 Cv Pto Shaft 9Cs459

9Sl469 Complete Shield W/Series 3-4 Bearings-Eurocardan

Comp. Shield W/Series 2 Bearings (121)

I'm not sure if either one is the correct. Can anyone tell if the shaft in the photos is a series 2, 3 or 4

Agri-Supply sells complete, new PTO shafts online and their prices are excellent even taking into account shipping. You can run an unshielded shaft, just be cognizant of the rotating hazard. That spinning shaft can suck you in and kill you in a flash. They love loose clothing and hair especially.

Here is a photo and a short story a friend from Alberta posted elsewhere couple of days ago.

Not sure if this actually happened or has it been staged, but the story sounds real and it looks terrible in the photo!

They do but good luck finding where to buy them. I’d love to. I have found one or two specific items on eBay but overall they only go through dealers and those are not always convenient to me.
