When you’re building or repairing PTO systems, implements, or any equipment that needs custom drive shafting, you need quality steel stock that won’t let you down. This rectangular cold drawn shafting gives you exactly that—precision-formed steel that’s ready to machine, weld, or fabricate into whatever your project demands. Whether you’re fixing a broken drive shaft or building something from scratch, this is the raw material that gets the job done right.
What You’re Getting
- Precision cold drawn 1045 steel with consistent dimensions and straight grain structure
- 3/4 x 7/8 inch rectangular cross-section provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- 6-foot length gives you plenty of material for most projects with minimal waste
- Smooth finish that machines clean and welds easily without prep work
- Series 6 PTO classification means it’s built for serious power transmission applications
Built for Real Farm Work
This shafting is perfect for custom PTO extensions, implement drive systems, and any application where you need reliable power transmission. The rectangular shape provides more surface area for keyways, splines, or mounting hardware compared to round stock. Many farmers and equipment builders use this for repairing older implements where replacement parts aren’t available anymore, or for building custom attachments that need to handle serious torque loads.
Made to Last
Cold drawn 1045 steel means this shafting has been work-hardened during manufacturing, giving you better strength and straightness than hot-rolled material. The consistent grain structure resists fatigue cracking, and the smooth surface finish helps prevent stress concentrations that can lead to failures. This is the same quality steel used in original equipment manufacturing.
Good to Know
At 6 feet long, this shaft ships via truck freight rather than UPS. Plan your cuts carefully—you can always make it shorter, but you can’t make it longer. If you’re building splined connections, remember that rectangular stock requires different machining techniques than round stock, so have your machinist lined up before you start. Keep any leftover pieces dry and oiled to prevent rust.
