I have a 5 ft brush hog and was wondering what the minimum overlap would be on the telescoping part of the PTO shaft. When it in raised up I have about 6 inches but when it is down I have 3 inches. Seems a little wobbly when down.

CH is correct for most shafts but some shaft designs allow 2" overlap. I'm sure that a 5' cutter has an economic shaft on it, like a Banacci or Eurocardan and they need at least 6" overlap. I would say you got the wrong shaft from the get go maybe one for a 4' cutter unless someone cut too much off.

I'd agree with that.

In addition to a new longer shaft, you could get an ORC or simple pto extention from a farm supply that goes on the tractor pto shaft to make things better - this can change the angles a bit & be harder on the universal joints. So, a few options to think about.
