Best place to pick up a PTO driveline shaft?

[jyoutz]

Go to your tractor dealer, they will match and you can buy replacement tubes for your PTO pretty cheap. Cheaper than buying a whole new PTO.

I don’t really want to haul tractor and implement to town and the old pto tubing is beat. I just want a new tune and slip clutch. I just want to know how to measure length and how much overlap. I can buy the whole setup at Tractor Supply locally instead of driving hours to the dealer.

He meant for you to remove the shaft from the implement and take it to the dealer where they could match the tubing and take care of the tube replacement if you wished. Overlap is typically recommended to be a minimum of 6" throughout the normal range of motion for the shaft.

My question is somewhat different. I don’t intend to match the tubing. I want an entire new PTO shaft and slip clutch. I just want to know how to measure the length. I’m assuming distance from pto to implement yolk, both with it raised all the way and lowered fully, plus overlap. I’m assuming overlap at full extension? Am I correct?

The first link goes to the index page of A&I's selection of generic shafts with clutches. The second goes to a choice I made of one of those offerings. That shows the details of that particular shaft with a collapsed length, maximum safe length, configurations of the implement end and tractor end yokes and other info.
An understanding of what you need and careful selection should get you what you seek.

If the shaft is short, just buy this PTO extender... it adds 4"

My pto shaft and connectors are beat up. I want to replace.

OR, buy some of the proper tubing, and lengthen the shaft that you already have...

This is a good idea but have a dealer do it for you. Lots of work if you don't know the ropes.

You'll spend almost as much as buying a new complete PTO shaft from a Rural King or Sloan Express in either Il or IN. I buy PTO stuff from them for good price.

Especially if you have to buy the tubing in full lengths.

Those things are a terrible crutch.

There are videos on-line on how to measure and cut a pto shaft for correct overlap. Do not do this yourself unless you have someone with you that does or you will almost certainly get it wrong. You need a chop saw to get the cuts straight. A sawmill will give an unsatisfactory crooked cut.
