I bought a used finish mower with too short of a PTO shaft. There was not enough overlap and the inner tube stretched the outer and today it failed when the outer tube split. The inner tube is badly worn and deformed as well, and can't be reused.
All the other PTO shafts I have are even shorter, or too much too long to borrow to get me back mowing. So I must get both inner and outer tubes to effect the repair. I see online places selling the tubing, either as 36 inch sets, or single inner or outer at 59 inches, sold separately. They are classed with numbers that have no meaning for me, but I assume these have to do with wall thickness and overall outside and inside dimensions. Is there a good reference page about this tubing anywhere?
The places I found were on the East Coast I am on the Pacific Northwest Coast. I am hoping to find an outlet for the tubing closer to home to do this simple repair. Any help out there? Thanks for looking.
