Howdy, y'all.

I bought a 5' pull-behind Woods cutter a couple of weeks ago and cut with it for the first time Saturday. The shaft is pretty worn out and I'm about to replace the crosses and bearings and maybe the inner shaft and yoke. Anyway, even when I turn slowly that shaft takes a tremendous bind. Is there any good way to decrease the wear on the bearings or do I just need to change them every mowing season?

Thanks,
Darren

For all trailed equipment that runs on 540 pto. It should be 14 inches from the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the hole on the drawbar.

How far is the center of the hole in your drawbar from the end of the PTO shaft on your tractor? It should be about fourteen inches. At least that is what I read in a baler manual and when I checked my drawbar it was shorter than that. It made a lot of difference in U joint chatter on any thing I hooked up too after changing it. It would also be possible that your drive shaft is too long but I suggest you check drawbar lenght first.

I have the same type mower, although mine is an FMC model. I pull mine with a "45 JD "A".
What I do, to avoid the extreme wear (and possible binding) when turning, is to disengage the pto on the tractor, and, in extremely severe cases, let the blades come almost to a complete stop----at least that way, you"re not "under power" when making a tight turn.
