6 Series PTO Shaft-Replacement of Weasler PTO Shaft

The Weasler 6 series PTO shaft is a type of Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft used in agricultural machinery to transfer power from a tractor to an implement, such as a mower, baler, or sprayer. The Weasler 6 series PTO shaft is designed to handle high torque and heavy loads, making it suitable for use in demanding applications. It features a telescoping design, which allows it to adjust to different lengths depending on the distance between the tractor and the implement. This helps to prevent the shaft from binding or breaking during operation.

The Weasler 6 series PTO shaft also has a number of safety features, including a torque limiter that can disengage the shaft in the event of a sudden overload or jam, preventing damage to the machinery and reducing the risk of injury to the operator. Additionally, the shaft is equipped with safety shields to protect against entanglement with moving parts. Overall, the Weasler 6 series PTO shaft is a reliable and durable component that is widely used in the agricultural industry for powering various types of equipment.

▍Weasler 6 Series PTO Shaft Parts Diagram

The Weasler 6 series PTO shaft is composed of several parts that work together to transfer power from a tractor to an implement. Some of the key components of a Weasler 6 series PTO shaft include:

PTO Shaft Tractor Yoke: This is the component that attaches to the tractor's PTO output shaft and provides the initial connection to the PTO shaft.

PTO Shaft Telescoping Shaft: The telescoping shaft is made up of two or more tubes that slide inside one another to allow the PTO shaft to adjust in length.

PTO Shaft Implement Yoke: This component attaches to the implement and provides the final connection to the PTO shaft.

PTO Shaft Universal joints: Universal joints connect the tractor yoke and implement yoke to the telescoping shaft, allowing the shaft to rotate and transfer power.

PTO Shaft Safety Shields: Safety shields are protective covers that are installed over the PTO shaft to help prevent entanglement with moving parts and reduce the risk of injury to the operator.

PTO Shaft Torque limiter: The torque limiter is a safety device that is designed to disengage the PTO shaft in the event of a sudden overload or jam, preventing damage to the machinery and reducing the risk of injury to the operator.

These are some of the key components that make up a Weasler 6 series PTO shaft. Other components may be included depending on the specific configuration of the shaft and the application it is being used for.
