TYM 273 Front drive shaft

[km-ri]

I had my transmission to HST drive shaft go a while back and replaced it with the newer style. Now after pushing RI snow all winter my front drive shaft appears to be shot. I did not remove the shrouds yet to look at it due to weather but it is loose and spinning (or not spinning) in 4 wheel drive. Anyone know the part number for a replacement? My dealer is no longer a TYM rep. I would like to order one online or by phone if possible. Sure wish the engineers had done a better job the first time around. Now for mud season, and I'll need that fwd. Thanks.

My parts manual shows 13154100010DG as the part # for the shaft. I think it for the old shaft > Don't know if they changed it to a u-joint shaft like the hstat shaft. I would have Smith's look up the part#.

It may be a bad drive shaft couple which cost a lot less. I have also seen the snap ring that locks the coupler in place go bad and allow one end if the coupler to slide off. You can check these when you take the shield off.
