How to Replace a U Joint in the Field or side of the road with only a few tools. Warning: This is not the proper way to replace a U Joint for your tractor implement; however, if you don't have the correct tools, such as a press or vise, this can get you out of a pinch. Replacing universal joints while broken down in a field can be a daunting problem. These technics can get you out of a bind with little to no tools.

It's been a very long time since I've had to change one of these out. Since my teenage days on the farm. Thanks for the refresher course. Content like this is greatly appreciated in the world

Great job....Tony! I have changed 100s of "U" joints in my lifetime and most often use a 6"-8" C-clamp press out the old and in with the new. But in a pinch....your method works every time!

Same here. I would much rather use a vise or press, but I have done this in the snow, mud and sand around the world. We do what we have to do!

I'm working on my PTO shaft for my orchard arblast sprayer. Have to replace the pin on the yoke shaft that keeps it locked into the groove as the spring is stuck in the open position. Was watching some other KZfaq videos for solutions. Found this one on changing the yoke as I thought that might be something I'll need to do down the road. Very informative. I like your approach to getting things done, especially in the field. Many thanks for putting this out there for us. Just subscribed to your channel.

It is not my favorite thing to do. Replacing them in a nice shop with a vice or press, is so much easier. I just thought this could be a teaching moment. God Bless you and Merry Christmas

Thank you Chief. One has to be prepared for what life hands us. I look forward to your Sunday releases and hope you get some dry weather. Merry Christmas if I don’t get in another response. Do you still favor the same PTO quick connect? If so how many male and female do you suggest? Lots of tractors and the usual hog, finish, chipper, grinder, post hole, tiller and like that. Ugh. Thanks in advance. My thought = 2F ? & 3-4 male?

Lots of ways to skin a cat. Always best to measure twice and cut once, however no harm done. Many decades ago when I first started road racing my father told me to slow down and I would be faster. A wise man, been gone 52+ and I had done two tours before he passed. Long ago, still valid however.

I've had to do that a few times but it's a whole lot easier pressing them out in a vise. Yes, I have dropped the bearing cap in the dirt and spent the next 20 minutes trying to find all the needle bearings. 😬

I have lost the universal joint from the center short shaft on my bushog. I will not just go back on the machine with the uj already installed. I managed to get it on the machine, but in the process I did seem to drop a bearing down in the cap on one end. I can not get that cap to come all the way out again, to repack it. Even with a pair of vice grips around it, the cap will not break the vacuum from the grease and come the rest of the way. Once those caps peek out of the end.. how do you grip them to pull them the rest of the way free?

Tony, Where did you buy the new shaft from please? I need to buy just a new yoke for my Walker mower u-joint assembly and not spend $306 for a whole new assembly. Thanks for the video, I liked it!

Thanks for making this, I'm going to do mine today. Wondering however, did you have to cut both inner and outer sleeves of the shaft? I don't understand what just cutting the tractor end accomplishes.

The short answer is yes. I did a video on cutting the shaft some time ago

How do you tell which U Joint to purchase as a replacement?

Use a caliper to measure them. Or pull the old one out and bring it to a parts house. They are common.

Not sure why you didn't punch the roll pin out of the profile tube on the original. You can replace the inner and outer profile tubing to a heavier grade.

Because I was showing what to do in the field if something breaks. Most people are not going to upgrade for a single U-joint.

Was that the tractor end of the new shaft or the implement end ? If it was the tractor end , why was it different and what tractor would it fit ? Thanks Tony and Merry Christmas.

Many implements have the same type end as the tractor.

With my luck, the diameter of the round bearings on the two different draft shaft parts would be different. I'd say, you lucked out big time !
