When you’re building custom implements or need to repair PTO drivelines, finding solid square shafting that meets your specs is half the battle. This 1-3/16″ square shaft gives you 6 feet of precision cold drawn 1045 steel that’s ready to machine, weld, or cut to fit your specific application. Whether you’re fixing a worn implement shaft or building something from scratch, this is the raw material that gets the job done right.
Key Features
- Cold drawn 1045 steel construction provides consistent strength and machinability for reliable fabrication work
- Series 35 sizing makes it compatible with common PTO systems found on 40-100 HP tractors
- Full 6-foot length gives you plenty of material to work with, whether you need the whole piece or sections
- Solid shaft design offers maximum strength for high-torque applications where hollow tubing won’t cut it
- Square cross-section prevents rotation in yokes and couplers, ensuring positive power transfer
Built for Real Farm Work
This shaft works with Series 35 PTO systems commonly found on 40-100 HP tractors that power everything from bush hogs to hay balers. If you’re a custom fabricator building implements or a farmer who does your own repairs, this steel gives you the foundation for drivelines that’ll handle whatever your operation throws at them. The 1-3/16″ size fits standard Series 35 yokes and U-joints that are readily available from farm supply stores.
Made to Last
Cold drawn 1045 steel isn’t just marketing talk—it’s a proven grade that machines cleanly, welds easily, and holds up under the constant torque cycling that comes with PTO work. The cold drawing process creates a smooth, consistent surface that reduces stress points where failures typically start. This stuff has the strength to handle serious horsepower without the brittleness that can cause sudden breaks.
Good to Know
This comes as raw steel, so you’ll need to machine any splines, keyways, or mounting features your application requires. The 72-inch length is perfect for most implement builds, but it cuts and welds easily if you need shorter pieces. Keep a few inches extra in your calculations—it’s always better to trim to fit than come up short when you’re in the middle of a project.
