I installed a Pat's and love it, except it changed everything that hooks to the PTO. So far everything is alright except my Three point seeder. And it works but it is only about 1 inch of play before the PTO shaft comes apart. Would a tractor PTO shaft extender help?

You might be able to extend the length of your driveshaft by welding cut sections back onto it.

Yes you can get one of those as a quick fix.

Thank Y'all I was unsure if one would work or not. I did use the seeder on some Rye Grass in the Fall but I didn't have enough RPMs on the seeder to get the seed out right. I'll give it a try. Thanks
