PTO shaft guard for rototiller

[ning]

I got a rototiller a few years ago at auction, and it obviously had been in the sun at least a couple years.

The tiller works great, but the shaft guard pretty much disintegrated.

Considering that the distance between the tractor and the tiller is pretty minimal and you'd be in mortal danger being anywhere near the shaft in the first place, is there any point in replacing the guard?

If it matters, there are no children here.

I wouldn't bother. Like you said, such a short distance and no one should ever be near it any way.

As long as you are comfortable with your choice - go for it.

Not unless you like making it impossible to hook the shaft on the pto.
