Constant Velocity Yoke and Tube Assembly with Slip Sleeve and Guard for Cat 6 CV 55 Series PTO Drive

Description

If you’ve ever dealt with a regular PTO joint binding up when your implement hits uneven ground or sharp angles, you’ll appreciate the smooth operation this constant velocity setup provides. When you hear that telltale clicking from your PTO shaft getting louder under load, it’s not just annoying noise—it’s your U-joints telling you they’re ready to fail. That grinding, popping sound means worn needle bearings and a cross that’s developed play, and when it finally lets go at full throttle, you’re looking at damaged implements, busted drivelines, or worse. This Cat 6 CV assembly eliminates those harsh angle problems and keeps power flowing smoothly to your implement, even when working rough terrain.

What You’re Getting

• Constant velocity design that maintains smooth power transfer at extreme angles where regular U-joints bind
• Weasler builds this tubing to handle the constant torque loads and vibration that come with farm work. The steel construction resists fatigue cracking and maintains its shape under load.
• Built-in slip sleeve that allows for driveline length changes during operation
• Protective guard shields that keep debris out and operators safe
• The 6 series size handles medium to heavy-duty applications—think bigger rotary cutters, heavy-duty tillers, and implements that see constant use in tough conditions.

Built for Real Farm Work

The 6 series size handles medium to heavy-duty applications—think bigger rotary cutters, heavy-duty tillers, and implements that see constant use in tough conditions. Whether you’re running a 60-80 HP utility tractor with a finishing mower or powering through with a heavier implement, this cross and bearing set delivers the strength you need when the work gets demanding. The constant velocity design really shines when you’re mowing slopes, working around obstacles, or using implements that need to articulate through changing terrain angles.

Made to Last

Weasler doesn’t mess around with PTO components – they know lives depend on quality. This kit includes precisely machined crosses that maintain exact 90-degree angles between bearing journals. The needle bearings are manufactured to tight tolerances, providing smooth rotation without the slop that causes accelerated wear. The CV joint construction distributes wear more evenly than traditional U-joints, extending service life even in demanding applications.

Installation Notes

This is a complete assembly that includes the yoke, tube, slip sleeve, and guard components. The 1-11/16″ 20 spline connection and 38.88″ length are specific measurements, so double-check your application before ordering. Never reuse snap rings – they lose tension and pop out when you least expect it. If one U-joint is bad, rebuild them all – they wear at similar rates. The CV design means less maintenance than traditional setups, but regular greasing through the fittings keeps everything running smooth.
