[QUOTE="dvcochran, post: 1592466, member: 38581"] Be glad. I have a 7' Howse brand cutter that I have had for around 15 years. It might see 20 hours use per year. I was using it behind my cab tractor and never felt or heard that the U-joint nearest the gearbox was failing. The yokes were rubbing together hard enough to let the joint come out. You cannot find individual parts for this shaft. Howse used to use a their own gearbox input shaft. A complete clutch/shaft to go back to their gearbox was going to cost just under $500. I ordered a 90 horsepower gearbox and series 6 clutch/shaft for just over $500. Now everything is standard. No brainer but damn that was an expensive U-joint! [/QUOTE]
