Sewer Pipe Makes Inexpensive Replacement PTO Shield

“The pto shield on my bush hog wore out, and a new one would have cost several hundred dollars. Instead, I used a piece of 4-in. dia. sewer pipe to make an inexpensive replacement. I cut off a length of pipe and drilled 2 holes into it. Then I slipped the pipe over the pto shaft and wired the pipe to the lower lift arms on my tractor’s 3-pt. hitch, in order to keep the shield from turning. To grease the pto shaft’s universal joints, I just loosen the wire and move the shield either forward or backward.”
