D160 PTO Shaft/U-Joint for tiller

[1977.d-160 1]

Hi guys,

 

My ujoint is missing one of the caps that hold in the 't' of the joint.  Can I get a new cap and press it in or do I need a whole new ujoint?  It looks like the cap just presses in w/o clips.

 

I can't for the life of me figure out how to separate the components (see attached).  There's a bearing lock 'slip release' to the right, but when I slide it over I still can't separate the shaft from the ujoint.  Twisting the chromed splined piece doesn't seem to do anything either.  I thought I should check in w/ the WH master minds before I resort to hammering on it.

 

Thx in adv for your feedback.

Hard to tell how big that U-joint is but the small ones are either Neapco or Spicer. One has a lock ring in the outside of the yoke eye and the other uses a snap ring over the bearing on the inside of the yoke. Can't remember which is which. The ones I thinking of are common power take-off components in any industrial application.

Thanks Garry - turned out to be a Neapco.  I got one today from Rhode Island Driveshaft.
