Posted downstairs by mistake... PTO Shafts??

Something just crossed my mind (happens now and then)....,
Have a wide angle (double joint) PTO shaft on the baler. Needed to replace the socket disk (lack of better words) in the middle a little bit ago and had this idea...

There are overrunning clutch adapters (??) that you stick on the tractor then hook a normal shaft to. Why not a wide angle unit that is portable/useable with normal shafts. Then thought that maybe something already exists and I just don't know what it's called.

Anyone know of something? Would be a BIG money saver over several shafts.

Just thinkin....
 
Adding the overrunning clutch to the tractor's PTO shaft causes at least these two issues:

1. Puts the transfer of load farther from the supporting bearings in the tractor's PTO unit. In high-load applications this will cause premature wear of the bearings, and very likely failure of the tractor's PTO shaft itself.
2. Changes the angles during turns, causing PTO chatter and early failure of the universal joints.

Normally you would only use the overrunning clutches on tractors with transmission-driven PTOs and on fully mounted implements where the angles between the tractor and implement do not change.
