Where can I get this "half" of a PTO shaft??

kebo · Dec 23, 2012

Bought a used KKII rototiller back during the summer and the PTO shaft works fine until I lift it, whereby sometimes the two PTO shaft sections will come apart. Obviously it was sized for the tractor that it was originally on. I would like to see if I can locate another "tractor end" section like in the pictures, that is longer, so I can cut it down. I think if it had just about 2-3 inches of add'l length, it would do just fine. I know some will suggest to just buy a complete new shaft and start over. They are only $219 at TSC with the slip clutch, and the one I have is basically new, so I want to avoid that route! This is a pretty short PTO shaft setup, I think if I can get just a couple more inches of overlap with one section, it will be just fine. If it were a really long PTO shaft like on a BH or PHD, then I would agree it would probably be best to get a new one and start over. Any thoughts on where I can get new or used section at a reasonable price? It's the standard 1 3/8" six spline on the tractor end, and the other end is tri-tube. Not sure of it's dim's though.

I thought you could buy a piece at TSC.

Check at a tractor or implement dealer - they must have cutoffs now and again. Cut square and butt weld.

I might be able to help you I have a used Magdelana (I belive that is what you have) that came off of my 4 ft KK bush hog. It was fine for when I had a B7500, but was too short for comfort on my larger Kioti. I bought a new complete shaft. If you want to this used Magdelana shaft 1 3/8 6 spline on one end and 1 3/8 round(I think, I would need to measure) with shear bolt on the other. If you are interested I can take pictures, I was thinking about $100 and you pay shipping. It would certainly be long enough and have to be cut down. Maybe we can work something out if you want.

If you just need an extra 4-5 inches, how about temporarily adding a $27 PTO shaft extension adapter to the tractor when you hook up the tiller= Extension Adapter - 0271033 | Tractor Supply Company

What I did was put an overriding clutch on tractor PTO this gave me the extra I needed. I had the clutch but can be bought at tractor supply for about the same price as an extention. Hope this helps is working for me as I type.
