Duff 206 #2 Posted September 15, 2008 I'd defer to TT or one of the other pros on this, but my personal thinking is 3/32 (or a smidge over a sixteenth) shouldn't make too much difference as long as the diameter and keyways mate up. Even if the PTO overhangs the shaft by 3/32, that really doesn't seem like much loss of support. Experts. your input? Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
