Explanation to you question and my suggestion was answered in #8, by Smokeydog...Dale,
I'm not sure what you mean about a sleeve, or how it would fasten, and be removable. I can have any one of these off in a few minutes including getting the wrench.
While I was shopping for a new tractor last winter I was considering the blue colored one until I noticed the driveshaft was the lowest thing on the tractor. I like the fact that my Massey has it tucked in where it won't be the point the tractor gets hung up when driving over stumps.Lots of armor a tractor needs to survive in the bush
I love my Massey!While I was shopping for a new tractor last winter I was considering the blue colored one until I noticed the driveshaft was the lowest thing on the tractor.

Not new Massey by any means, but I love my 2 old Massey 245 tractors with the Perkins Diesel engines.
I had to limp out of the woods on 3 wheels twice before I was smart enough to put on some valve stem protection. I didn't want to dismount the tire to weld either so I made a sandwich clamp affair thru one of those moon cut-outs with a piece of pipe welded to it. Those you made should work good for you M convert.

That is awesome! If my valve stems were closer to the center plate I could have done something like you did. What I like about both our designs is that they are completely removable, allowing to return to the original configuration.I had to limp out of the woods on 3 wheels twice before I was smart enough to put on some valve stem protection.
