What I need is the 6 splined shaft that goes from the Center of the tractor out to the Steering clutch, it is about a foot long and the splines are the same as a pto shaft

Need a MC bull pinion (Left steering clutch input ?) shaft

I had problems with getting my MC to move last winter and over the summer I got it tore down and figured out that the shaft that goes from the ring and pinion to the left steering clutch was sheared off, I need a new one and have not been able to find one any where.

I have called several salvage yards in my area but none can come up with one. One Idea a friend of mine had was t...

I am completely unaware of how to adjust or repair anything after the trans on these. Where and what am I looking for to check for misadjustment or wear. The left steer lever is also harder to move and I cant pull it back all the way.

Thanks, Denis
