DoubleO7: I took the short end of the PTO shaft apart and found this. The "ball" is worn into an egg shape.
I was able to purchase the u-joint "cross" with bearings at my local part supplier (non-JD) for $20. It is a Weasler 200-0600. I am not experienced with u-joints and CV shafts, but a local old-timer who happened to be in the store said the ball did not look bad. He claimed he had seen them worn almost flat on one side for baler CV PTO shafts and still work fine. Now that I have the "cross," I can put the shaft back together without too much difficulty. Do you think I should re-assemble based on what you see here? Note: the two "special purpose" bearings have also failed, probably from the shock of vibration. I have one new one installed, the second one is on order as my local store did not carry hexagonal bearings. Part 206KRRB6 It looks fine but has a grind as I turn it. Thanks, Dave

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
