| I built a removable cradle to help with hooking up and working with double u-joint PTO shafts. Weld about an inch of 3/4" pipe (open end up) on the tongue of the implement that uses it, preferably with a groove ground into the bottom of the pipe so water drains out. Then weld a short length of channel iron (channel up) to a rod that fits into the pipe. That makes a removable cradle you can rest the shaft on while working with it. Fiddle with the length of the rod so that it's tall enough to be useful but short enough to be removed when the shaft is hooked up. Works nicely here anyway. | |
