OK here is the scoop. The splines on the long shaft were it connects to the short shaft are shot. The long shaft on the parts baler are in great shape. But the pipe has some twists to it.
SO I have " bad splines good shaft" Good splines bad shaft" DOH!! Any way. I am going to see my welder tomorow and have him cut the good splines off the bad pipe and weld that to the good pipe.

It is real nice to have a town black smith that charges fair rates. There is always a line of 3 or 4 guys there wanting him to fix something.

Now to my problem. The dang shaft off the parts machine has different grooves for the nylon bushing for the pto gaurd. The ones I have are thicker than the grooves on the replacement.
Are these things you can buy at the farm store or maybe New Holland has 2 different kinds?
Also the short shaft needs a new gaurd totaly. I wonder if off the shelf gaurds would fit?
I prices the gaurds for a short shaft at NH and wow!! the price is out of this world. Some thing like $120 just for the Gaurd.
I need some inlightenment from you old hands on how you solve your PTO gaurd problems.

I'd sure try one of those "willfit" plastic shields. I bet you can make it work.

Its always nice to have the shields in place. Looks nice and some states probably require it. If you let anyone run it for you anyway. I've seen more missing shields than servicable ones. Thing is, dont trust them to save you from getting tangled. Back years ago when equipment first came out with PTO, a neighbor lady was helping her husband bale hay, reached for somthing on the tractor and her dress caught in the PTO, Left her standing in her unmentionables. She was real lucky she had on an old dress.

My Dad used to tell of an incident he had with a pto on a Moline. Pto hooked up right under your feet. I'm sure there was supposed to be a guard there but it was missing. The shaft caught his pants leg and before he could get it stopped it had torn his pants off of him and ripped them to shreds. He said that was a cold ride driving back to the house in his underwear. Instead of Minneapolis Moline, Dad called them "Mankiller Molines"

In regard to your question directed to the 'old hands' as to how they handle pto problems- just remember that if you don't find the proper pieces for guarding the pto shaft, or until you do- no one has ever been hurt or killed by a pto that was shut off before the operator left the tractor! There are very few true farm accidents- people get killed or injured by doing stupid things! Number one is: shut off the !@#$%^&*()_+PTO!!!!! ! When my boys started running pto equipment, their first instruction was simple: IF THEY EVER GET OUT OF THE CAB WITH THE PTO RUNNING, THEY WILL BE ON PITCHFORKS AND SCOOP SHOVELS UNTIL THEY LEAVE HOME. Yes, I was a strict disciplinarian, but there were no major injuries with six kids. We ran a 70 cow dairy herd with over 700 acres of land, and everyone left here without missing any body parts.

I do find that I need to get off the tractor with the pto running wile testing the baler. I have to throw the hay in the pick up. But there is no way I am getting off at the back of my H with that body parts catcher spinning. Right now I can step on the loader frame and get off between the rear wheel and the frame. After I take the loader off. I will make a step so I can exit to the front.
I did notice you have to watch that twine you pull off the test bales b4 you throw in the feeder. I could see that stuff getting around your feet and dragging you into the feeder.
That would suck.

Well stated..... .....

Personally, also make the extra little effort (esp.. as easily as it is) .....if I need to do something in an area that the pto is capable of turning/running..... .as soon as the pto quits turning --- push that little button & slide the coupling off the shaft..... ....after doing what adjustment/cleanout or whatever, reconnect on the way back to the tractor seat..... ..... ...takes maybe a total of 30 seconds -- time well spent!!

More especially important if doing any custom type work & have innocent bystanders (curious children/or unexperienced adults/customers) milling around 'watching/looking' "wondering" 'which' lever does 'what'..

Not meaning that guards on the pto are not a good thing, but if the pto is running - guard or not..... ....'tis a dangerous thing!
