vilocity joint for round baler

Trying to find a high Velocity joint for my 956A Hesston baler
OEM part is $1000.00 bucks Seeing if anyone would have an idea where to look for a after market or salvage . I think a 4590 square in the same thing ?

The correct name is "constant velocity" joint. Unfortunately, they are usually $$$ no matter what.

Is it completely annihilated, or possibly repairable?

If there's machine hop in your area that does ag stuff, they may be able to help with repairs or replacement.

Otherwise, give Baum Hydraulics in Omaha a call, they have all sorts of driveline parts and repairs.

You might check for shaft availability from an A&I dealer. That's where I purchased a CV shaft for my JD rd baler

If you find a cheap place let us know. My 567 baler and 15' bushhog both need them. The bushhog snapped the pto shaft on my tractor. Been thinking of just using a u joint only.

Jim, help me with this:

When I bought my used JD 530 roller, I don't recall a CV joint on the shaft. I remember that because hooking the drive line to the tractor PTO was
a no brainer. With my current 375 which has a CV joint on the tractor end it is quite heavy and cumbersome.

What I did get with the 530 was a draw bar extension of roughly 20 inches. Apparently the CV is required when the angles between the drive and
driven (tractor and baler) aren't equal. The shafts travel at different speeds (believe it or not) in turns and cause vibrations. What the extension
did was to equal the lengths of the two thus causing the two shafts to turn identically and prevent the vibrations encountered in turns.

The other thing the drawbar extension did was (as you surely know) was to push the swather (JD 1209) tongue (when used with the swather also)
out beyond the rear tires such that you could make a 90 degree turn in the field and not have to come back over with an X to pick up the corners.

Would you comment on that please?

Reasoning here is a possible solution for "old horse" whereby he could use an extender (found mine used at a "yesterday's tractor" dealer for 50
bucks), and a conventional drive line and do away with the CV joint......I don't recall a CV joint on the swather either, but there was a support about
a foot from the connection to the tractor PTO.

Thanks,
Mark

Your old JD 530 rd baler had a carrier brg between baler gearbox & tractor pto shaft that newer JD rd balers don't have as telescoping shaft goes all the way from baler gearbox to tractor pto. I think the reason JD engineers changed design is because customers didn't like to or wouldn't install the drawbar extension(equal angle hitch) before attaching.

IMHO I liked the equal angle setup better than the heavy,awkward to handle CV driveline that BTW is only designed to turn 80° not 90° such as the "equal angle hitch" AND u-joints on EA driveshaft are much cheaper to replace if needed.

Equal angle hitch got it's name from the fact that with the drawbar extension in place with drawbar at correct length(14'' from end of tractor pto shaft to center of hole in drawbar for 540 rpm) both u-joints on telescoping shafts have identical angles while in a turn which eliminates driveline vibration while turning corners.
