Shortend PTO cradle, Drive Shaft question
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 7:44 pm
I've got a Modded PTO winch cradle ( sits closer into the body work), and a factory length drive shaft . What's the best way to get the drive shaft length ?.
I'm thinking , mounting drive shaft from PTO drive to the
chassis hanger mount , and measure from hanger bearing to the winch,
take measurements to Drive shaft shop and get them to make it to suit.
How have others done it ? Cut and re weld the front shaft, or cut the rear of the splined shaft ,and maybe cut /machine new splines ?
What has worked or not worked for you ?
Thanks
