I'll take one of the PTO u-joints. :P Since you have so many. :D
The one I have that is directly mounted to the PTO itself, is cracked. The PO had a catastrophic PTO shaft failure that riped out the exhaust and spun the shaft in the u-joint and cracked it. The shaft was stuck in the u-joint, so they just torched it off. My dump doesn't dump anymore. :(

Do not flame me too bad,I have a 3 piece chevy driveshaft with 2 carrier bearings. It goes from the 435 to the winch in very back of truck. I took one look at those little pto u-joints and said NO WAY. Mine uses 1310 joints never had a problem. :lol:
