PTO Shafts

[Doug62]

Bought a Woods RD660-1 mower with a non covered PTO shaft. I'd like to remedy that situation. Can I buy the cover itself or is it best to just buy a new shaft assembly?

Best place to buy?

I would first check with your mower dealership. Do they have such a beast? Then try after market sites such as - Messicks. Give them a call - see what they can come up with.

If you revise your opening post to include mower brand and, if possible, PTO shaft brand, you will receive more useful responses. Your opening posts are consistently vague.


Tractor Supply Company inventories quite a few PTO shafts and some parts.

Problem will be finding the guard which fits your particular PTO drive shaft.

I bought a used Woods from an individual.

Most of the covers ride in machined grooves at the ends near the yokes. Does your shaft have those?

Agri-Supply sells complete, new PTO shafts online and their prices are excellent even taking into account shipping. You can run an unshielded shaft, just be cognizant of the rotating hazard. That spinning shaft can suck you in and kill you in a flash. They love loose clothing and hair especially.

I have a Bondioli & Pavesi Series 100, size 4 PTO shaft which came with used flail mower and the cover or shield was busted pretty bad and after having spent quite bit of time in trying to figure out the correct replacement shield, I bought all new (up to 35 hp) shaft from Amazon vendor (All States Ag Parts) for $175


Oh well, I now have used spare parts for my other PTO shafts hoping they will fit if I ever need them?


The new shaft is a no-name brand and appears to be of equal quality to OEM, but only time will tell.

Agri Supply is less expensive by a long shot for a generic shaft.
