Posthole Digger do you have a yellow post hole digger with a round gearbox

[plowindeeper]

I have a yellow pdh was over painted red when I bought it and had a case sticker on it. I bought It used. Has worked fine for 8 years now. The other day I broke the shaft that holds the auger. I have no ides what kind it is. Woods dealer says not his. The swing arms are held to the main beam with a metal clamp thing NOT A PIN. any ideas guys. Never put a pic on here never tried can't put one on craigslist so I gave up on posting pics

How does your gearbox attach to the boom? We have two different replacement gearboxes for our post hole diggers. One measures 4 1/4" between the ears and the other one measures 5 1/4" between the ears. They have a 2" output shaft that the auger mounts to. Some of the older 3pt diggers had odd sized output shafts but you can get adapters to fix that. That being said, you'll have to weigh the cost difference of replacing parts vs. buying a new unit. You can find our replacement gearboxes here on our website along with our post hole diggers and other post hole digger parts. They do qualify for free ground shipping to your residence.

Yep I have a yellow one but has a pivot pin. I agree probably a new gearbox and mod to your digger would be easiest and cheapest. Boxes are fairly standard nowadays.

Thanks guys no matches so far Wife got camera working so I'm trying to post a pic asap got a to much to do and no time to do it in .

My gear box has a 6" pin through it holding it to main beam.
Drive shaft is metal no plastic so I'm thinking at least 30 years old.
The main beam Is shaped like all PDH's
The lift arm beam(shaped the same) were all the others I've ever seen have a pin mine has a metal clamp that still allows it to swing never seen another like it.
the output shaft is theaded a adapter screws up on it to hold auger thats were it broke

The machine shop that KNOWS how to weld in town said they could weld it for $150

I can't say I've ever seen one with a threaded output shaft.
