U-Joints & Yokes for FEL Pump drive?

[Ehanson]

Hi , just wondering if any one has tried to purchase the 2" Ujoints/Yoke assy to make their own pump drive shaft?
The smallest swing from spicer, etc is 2.5 which makes it real close to the bottom tank of the radiator. I think the machine shop called it series 1000.
Any one? , I posted in repair forum, but no replies, perhaps someone here?
Thank you

I'd check a supplier dedicated to bearings seals and such. Around here that is Mcquire bearing...they might be able to match something by measurements. Maybe they'd have other solutions as well.
Do you have a pict of the original set up?

Don't laugh but I have seen short lengths of hydraulic hose used to create flexible couplings.

2 braided of suitable ID to match shafts works fairly well. Naturally the hose and shaft need to be drilled to accept a bolt and some shaped clamps made up. A short piece of thick tubing of proper ID to match hose OD would work. Slit the tubing clamps lengthwise B4 clamping.
