I purchased a replacement PTO shaft for my 860. The splines are nowhere even close to the original. The bottom of the profile on the new one is .025 wider than the original. I tried to stuff it in and it slid in until only about a 1/2" to go then it got tight. I think it might go with a large bump or 8.
Well I contacted Steiner which is where3 the shaft came from. Finally got a tech. He finally tracked down the email I sent to customer service and looked at the pictures I sent.
He said he pulled 8 out of their stock of 17 and they were all the same. Then he explains that they have gotten and sold 200 of these shafts and only had 2 people contact them about the difference.
I have included the pics. The original one is on the right.
What do you all think?
