Is it possible to buy just the inner sleeve on a brush hog PTO shaft?

What part? or do you need the whole thing?

I bought a used brush hog this weekend and ran it some. It does a good job and is bigger than the one I already had. The inner PTO shaft is bent and slightly twisted. The outer shaft half looks fine. If I had to guess I would say they picked it up too high and bent it on the bracing. The shaft isn't very old and the yokes are in good shape. I would like to buy just the inner shaft and use the yokes I have to get it fixed. Everywhere I look they want you to buy and entire new shaft. Is there any place to get just that inside shaft? Thanks in advance

Go to a good machine shop, most likely the inner shaft is not exactly square to keep the yokes properly timed, good machine shops keep that rectangular pto shaft stock for repairs.

When I was setting up my flail mower. I picked out a PTO shaft. Installed it, and quickly discovered I had a bent one.

Mine was slightly longer than I needed. So I unpinned it from one of the yokes. Cut about 3 inches off from the yoke end, and put the yoke back on, drilled it, and reinstalled the roll pin.

Perhaps trimmed the other shaft slightly from the middle.

No additional parts to purchase.

You guys have provided good info and help with this question, thanks. Do you know if the outer safety sleeve parts are available?

They had both inner and outer available at the New Holland dealer. Mine was triangular but they had all sorts of other configurations available
