PTO shaft halves. Use the
cut-off length of plastic tube to mark the remaining cuts.
Place the end of the steel shaft to be cut off in a
vice so it is easier to control your cut.

Remove the burrs from the edges of the steel shaft that
were cut. Clean the steel shaft halves.

cuttings on the shaft ends.
IMPORTANT! The two halves of the PTO shaft should
overlap at least 6" (150 mm).
