I had the same concern regarding the strength of the pinned shaft, and I have not used it for heavy mowing, just pulling a load. I suppose mowing this spring will tell the tale. Interesting idea on the hex socket concept...the "red necked" reference is not far off. I just completed a mule drawn...

Thanks for the photo. This is the setup on the tractor. The exploded view showing a splined joint on one end is probably the way I will redo it if it ever gives me trouble later on. As I mentioned, the shaft had been cut in half to remove and one of the ends was locked up. I re-joined the shaft...

Since I bought the tractor used, I am just guessing that lubrication was a big issue with the wear. There are no grease fittings. It is doing fine with my method of modification, but always like to hear others ideas. You guys did great interpreting my crude explanation. Thanks for your time.

I understand the lack of a picture and my crude explanation left a little to be desired, but I was confused when I was looking up the parts and Kubota called the CV joint a "coupling ball outer and inner". I was just wondering if other folks had tried anything different as the parts are rather...

I purchased tractor used, and the shaft had been cut in half to remove. Both ends have a coupler with 4 ball bearings. Perhaps this is what you refer to as a cv joint. One of these was locked up, so I cleaned it up and replaced the bearings, put a heavy walled pipe over the shaft and pinned it...

DustyRusty, it seems like this would work, and save splitting tractor. The linear offset between the fixed shafts is minimal, so I was wondering if one flex joint on the end would be sufficient. I was considering a keyed coupler in the center so as to establish a fixed overall length of the...

B2320: The couplings on the ends of the propeller shaft are worn, and the outer coupling seems to be hard to find in stock. I was curious if anyone had ever deleted these couplings and replaced with a u joint. Also, has anyone ever converted this assembly to two piece to allow for replacement...
