After getting all the right brackets for it, mowed for about 1/2 hour and the U-joints started coming apart- I can't seem to locate the right one for that. Does anyone in internetland have a parts book or the new "weasler" number for the ujoints? Thanks in advance for any help Richard [Reply]   [No Email]

The U-joints on the mower are external (in yoke) snap rings, but the only available U joints with the same dimensions are internal (on bearing cup) snap rings. I bought one of these and had to do a small amount of grinding on the insides of the yoke to remove rough spots, and the internal snap ring version works just fine. For future reference the part number is a 200-1-675 from Burns Industrial, same u joint that is used on lots of farm truck hoists. Thanks for all the help- maybe this post will help someone out in the future as well [Reply]  [No Email]

I haven't been able to get a number on this from the dealer, so if you do have one it would be great Thanks Richard [Reply]  [No Email]

The usual cause of failure is if the joints are rattling when you lift or in work, that means they are running out of line and that needs to be sorted out as it isn't mounted or adjusted correctly. I will look later to see if I can find a number for you...John(UK)...fergusontractors@hotmail.com [Reply]  [No Email]
