Determining Eurocardan shaft series

[orezok]

The inner shaft bearing on my Eurocardan shaft grenaded. I don't know what series the shaft is. The shaft is a "lemon" shape. I've gone to Eurocardan site, but nowhere can I find dimensions. Any help would be appreciate.

If you're talking about the "Cross" or "U" joint you can measure it and order a new one or maybe find one locally at a tractor parts or automobile parts store.

Nope. Per the pictures we're talking about the shield bearing.

Guess I stumped the stars on this one

Hello,

I found a useful catalog some while back that gives all the dimensions for eurocardan series. It is a 12MB PDF. Too big for the forum. I can send it as an email attachment if you like,

Actually I found the link which is easier:

Determine the shaft series by measuring the cross cap diameter and width with caps installed. Match the shaft style. Then find your components based on style and series.

Thanks Rick & Pat. The cross bearings are a series 4, but the shield bearing is not. The lemon shape shaft is a German design. The tiller is Brittish manufacure. The shield bearing seems to be a series 6, but I still do not have confirmation of that. I sent an email to the tiller manufacturer to get some clarification.

The cross may match the series 4 spec but that's where the shaft profile comes into play. You have a Walterscheid shaft and that series will be W2xx0. Berhaps the shield bearings are a bastard size, but perhaps they match the Walterscheid spec which would differ from the Bondioli & Pavese specs.

Winner winner chicken dinner. It looks like the shield bearing is a series 6 from the dimensions online. Now I just need to find a supplier.

For some reason I was thinking that it was a Eurocardan shaft. That's what messed up my research.

I think I got my pto driveshaft from agrisupply.
