Mowing Cutter death trap

[5030]

I'm with the others, just replace the entire assembly. Agrisupply (ASC) sells at a reasonable price complete pto driveline assemblies with or without the double Cardan joint. I replace one on my old hay mower (1000 rpm), just before I sold it. Went from a shaker to smooth as butter. I went with the constant velocity double Cardan joint.

The double Cardan joint allows tight turning with little to no driveline vibration and remeber all the shaking and vibration is being transmitted to your PTO stub as well. You need to go over the rest of the driveline as that guard should not be shaking loose either.

My batwing shredder is 1000 pto ad is my Landpride solid mount shredder and both came with the double Cardan joints.

As with any driveline, they need to be kept greased reqularly.

I just bought a 55" collapsed length 540 tractor end 21 spline baler end, CV jointed + slip clutch for $600 from this place. It weighs about 100 lbs. For my Vicon 1210 round baler. The guy who sold it had removed the CV shaft and replaced it with a standard one apparently to keep the value of it. Turning in the field was a nightmare.
CV joint equipped shafts are usually 2 - 3 times the price of a plain vanilla one.

You could have included the rest of the 'pup' in the picture as well....

Some pups for 5030.

We love ALL pups here, including our Aussies. Never met a pup we didn't like. Candidly, I prefer pups over people most times...

Although I disapprove of my doggos being anywhere near my machinery, here is the rest of the pack:

I'll agree with the other suggesting a new shaft for the front one.
Also your drawbar is set to short, your drawbar hitch pin should be very close to midway in the shaft. That allows equal angles in the shaft.Most tractors the drawbar can be adjusted in or out.

I'm under the impression that distance should be 14" for a 540 rpm and 16" for a 1,000rpm shaft.
That is per maiuk in 2010.

The 14 inches from the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the hole is standard for a 540 rpm PTO (16 inches for 1000 rpm PTO). This ensures the pivot point for the u-joint on the PTO driveline is the same as the pivot point on the drawbar and reduces the stress on the u-joint

I don't recall the exact measurements, most implements have the desired specification in the manual.

So this thread is going to the dogs!

Called my dogs over to see what they would do and they just went back, laid down and went to sleep!
