This driveshaft (the long one on the left) came with my tractor, and I have no clue what it's for. The one to the right of it is the rear half of the BX2753 mid-PTO kit for reference.
The shaft is 59 9/16" overall length and the U-joint is marked with "06031-7", but I couldn't find any other identifying marks. Any help?

The one on the left looks incorrect for a BX. It might not even be for a Kubota.

Couldn't the seller ID it?
It came from a private school selling off some things and the office guy didn't know much of anything. They had a BX2680 and a small Deere there as well, but I have no clue what it's from.

Ahh. That makes sense. If it doesn't work for anything you own, it's probably THE missing part of someone else's purchase:)

I'm 95% sure the shaft on the left is for a John Deere snowblower.

I had a JD425 tractor with 48" 2-stage blower.

There was an angular bearing in the front axle or hitch the drive shaft passed through. That looks like it, and about right length too.

Good find! That does look just like the BM17330 shaft.
