I didn't read the other replies yet, safty questions sometimes get heated... ;) My 3-point Ford mower doesn't have the shield on it since dad threw it away 15 years ago. I wish it was there. I should replace it. It keeps the operator from getting loose clothing caught in the pto & wrapped up. That kills a lot of people, & maims many, many more. You would not believe how fast a pto will wrap up clothing & whatever is in the clothing, beating the snot out of your broken bones as you flop around. On a mower, it is also helpful to keep the hay from wrapping up on it, which happens several times per season to me without the shield. The sheild really is just a piece of plastic pipe, but it needs to telescope with the shafts. The knuckles on the end are the real problem that catch clothing, so you need a factory job that telescopes & has the bulb ends to protect you. Thank you for the message, Perhaps you 'talked' me into getting dad's (now mine) fixed before next year. Whatever you choose to do, maybe you saved me from a bad injury. --->Paul
