14 Series PTO Shaft-Replacement of Weasler PTO Shaft

The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is a type of power take-off (PTO) shaft used in agricultural and industrial machinery to transfer power from a tractor or other power source to an attached implement. The "14 Series" designation refers to the standardized dimensions of the shaft. The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft has a standard 1-3/8 inch 6-spline on the tractor side and a 1-3/8 inch smooth bore with either a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch shear pin on the implement side. The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is typically made of steel and can vary in length depending on the specific application.

It is important to use the correct size and type of PTO shaft for your machinery to ensure safe and efficient operation. It is also important to regularly inspect and maintain PTO shafts to prevent accidents and prolong their lifespan. If you are looking for a high-performance, reliable, and safe PTO shaft, our Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is a great option.

▍Weasler 14 Series PTO Shaft Design Features

The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is designed with several key features that make it a popular choice for agricultural and industrial machinery:

1. Standardized dimensions: The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft has standardized dimensions, which ensures that it can be easily interchanged between different machines and implements.

2. Spline design: The 6-spline design on the tractor side of the Weasler 14 series PTO shaft provides a secure and efficient transfer of power from the tractor to the implement. The splines also allow for easy attachment and detachment of the shaft.

3. Shear pin: The implement side of the Weasler 14 series PTO shaft typically features a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch shear pin, which is designed to break if the implement becomes jammed or overloaded. This helps to prevent damage to the machinery and ensures the safety of the operator.

4. Telescoping design: Some Weasler 14 series PTO shafts feature a telescoping design, which allows the shaft to be adjusted to different lengths to accommodate different implements and machines. This can help to reduce the need for multiple PTO shafts and make it easier to switch between implements.

5. Safety shields: The Weasler 14 series PTO shafts can be dangerous if not properly guarded, as they can spin at high speeds and cause serious injury or even death. Many Weasler 14 series PTO shafts come with safety shields that cover the shaft and protect the operator from contact with the moving parts.

▍Weasler 14 Series PTO Shaft Lubrication & Maintenance

The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is a common type of PTO shaft used in agricultural equipment and other machinery. Proper lubrication and maintenance of the Weasler 14 series PTO shaft are important to ensure its longevity and safe operation. Here are some guidelines for lubricating and maintaining your Weasler 14 series PTO shaft:

Lubrication: The PTO shaft should be lubricated with a high-quality grease that is compatible with the operating conditions of your equipment. Grease should be applied to the yokes, splines, and bearings of the PTO shaft.

Inspection: Regular inspection of the PTO shaft is important to catch any potential issues before they become serious problems. Check the shaft and all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.

Cleaning: Dirt and debris can accumulate on the PTO shaft, which can cause premature wear and damage. Clean the PTO shaft regularly using a wire brush or rag.

Storage: When the PTO shaft is not in use, it should be stored in a clean, dry place. Apply a light coating of grease to the shaft to protect it from rust and corrosion.

Safety: Always follow safety guidelines when working with PTO shafts. Make sure the equipment is turned off and the PTO shaft is disengaged before performing any maintenance or lubrication.

▍How to Measure a PTO Shaft?

Measuring a PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft is important to ensure that you get the correct replacement part or attachment for your equipment. Here are the steps to help you measure a PTO shaft:

1. Determine the type of PTO shaft: There are three main types of PTO shafts, including the standard PTO shaft, the metric PTO shaft, and the splined PTO shaft. You should identify the type of PTO shaft before taking measurements.

2. Measure the length of the PTO shaft: The length of the PTO shaft is measured from the center of one end to the center of the other end. Use a tape measure or ruler to get an accurate measurement.

3. Measure the diameter of the PTO shaft: The diameter of the PTO shaft is measured across the center of the shaft. Use a caliper or ruler to get an accurate measurement.

4. Count the number of splines (if applicable): If you have a splined PTO shaft, count the number of splines on the shaft and record the measurement.

5. Measure the overall width of the PTO shaft: This measurement is taken from the outer edge of each yoke to determine the overall width of the PTO shaft.

By taking these measurements, you can ensure that you get the correct replacement part or attachment for your equipment. It is important to note that PTO shafts should be measured carefully and accurately to avoid any compatibility issues or safety concerns.

▍Agricultural Gearbox and Weasler 14 Series PTO Shaft

An agricultural gearbox and a Weasler 14 series PTO shaft often work together in agricultural machinery to transfer power from the tractor to the implement or attachment.

The agricultural gearbox is a gearbox that is specifically designed for use in agricultural machinery. It is typically driven by the tractor PTO shaft and is designed to provide the necessary speed and torque to power the various components of the implement, such as augers, blades, and rollers.

The Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is often used to connect the tractor's PTO to the gearbox's input shaft. The spline on the tractor side of the PTO shaft fits into the corresponding spline on the agricultural gearbox's input shaft, providing a secure and efficient transfer of power.

Once the power is transferred to the agricultural gearbox, it is then transmitted to the various components of the implement or attachment via a series of gears and shafts. The design of the agricultural gearbox is optimized for the specific application, with the gear ratios and torque outputs tailored to the needs of the machine.

Overall, the combination of an agricultural gearbox and a Weasler 14 series PTO shaft is a common and effective way to transfer power in agricultural machinery. The agricultural gearbox provides the necessary speed and torque to power the machine's components, while the PTO shaft provides a secure and efficient connection to the tractor's power source.
