The PTO shaft plays the crucial role of transferring power from your tractor to an attached implement. The parts of a PTO shaft consist of the internal and external PTO yoke, universal joint, safety chain and safety shield. Several different types of PTO shafts are available, so it’s essential to choose the right one for your equipment and applications.
Agri-Can® offers two different types of PTO shafts: North American and European. Each style includes several series options consisting of multiple choices for bearing diameter, cap-to-cap overall length and snap rings. The most accurate way to determine the correct series is to measure the outside diameter of the bearing cap and the U-joint from one end of the cap to the other. The location of the snap ring is another determining factor.
