Mid PTO coupler

[Trail builder]

I am trying to find a coupler to connect a hydraulic pump to the mid PTO on my BX 25.

If you get the diameter of the shaft and the spline count, you should be able to get one from a farm supply dealer, like TSC or Rural King. If not, try your local Kubota dealer.

Like this adapter that gets to 1 3/8 6 spline?

I have a number of these shafts from a few implements (mostly front mowers and snowblowers and brooms). They are all different brands and models, too. JD, Ford/New Holland, etc. Some Some are spline to spline and others are spline to 1" round shaft, either drilled for a shear bolt or a keyway deal.

I have found a few from U-Pullit type junkyards, and some from auctions where they have a mid or front mower only, and even from Craigslist and FB marketplace.

Just count the splines. 15 as I recall on my F-935 mower and 1070 tractor.

You won't believe what they cost new. Cheapest one I've seen (New Holland cm274) is about $700 and the Deere is over $1000. so, buying a rusty mower deck with a drive shaft for $50 is a darn good deal. Air compressor attachment is also a nice occasional use for a mid-pto. Tank or no tank works effectively. Don't forget the safety-blow off valve !

I'm going to start this thread a bit ahead of time so I can actually get input along the way rather than just showing finished pics as there are some areas I am less certain of. I have started taking apart bits of it but probably won't get seriously into it until Spring/early summer when it...
