We broke the diverter input shaft on my batwing cutter. This cutter has smooth splines and uses shear bolts. I absolutely hate it. I found a new divider on Ebay for $700 but it is 20 spline. I was going to just replace the diverter and all 3 pto shafts to new shafts that have slip clutches to eliminate the shear bolts.
But the diverter company does not sell 6 spline units. Is there a way to do this? I am not sure why they wouldnt make a 6 spline for it, in my mind the 6 spline would be stronger than more smaller splines... Tractor is an old International 986 (about 100hp).
Any ideas, comments or suggestions?
