I remember seeing an old tractor that had the engine and transmission connected by an external drive shaft with a couple of universal joints in it.

Can you guys tell me what models were built like that?

Thanks,
JP.

I think the Massey-Harris 44 was that way, maybe some of the other M-H's, and maybe some Allis-Chalmers, too.

The L, LA, & LI's are a great example of that. No U-Joints though. There are "spiders" on each end of the drive shaft with fiber disks that connect the driveshaft on both ends.

International 184. Certain olivers have a flex plate instead of a u-joint.

Hmm, I guess that it was not so unusual.

Thanks for the info,

My garden tractor has a driveshaft. There's no u-joints, but it does have neophrene spacers or biscuits so they can flex. Bought it new in 1971.
