Jeremywell PTO Shaft 147029,147034 Replace 5",5-1/2",6" King Kutter 3-Point Mounted Mower

What It Is

This is a replacement PTO (power take-off) shaft assembly designed for 3-point hitch mounted rotary cutters and mowers, specifically to fit King Kutter models that originally used a 5", 5-1/2", or 6" PTO shaft. It transmits engine power from the tractor’s PTO stub to the mower gearbox.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Primary fit: King Kutter 3-point mounted mowers (e.g., LX, XB, and standard series) that use OEM part numbers 147029 or 147034.
• Shaft length: Available in 5", 5-1/2", and 6" collapsed lengths. Measure your existing shaft from yoke center to yoke center when fully collapsed—do not guess based on deck size.
• Yoke size: Typically fits Category 1 tractors with 1-3/8" 6-spline PTO stubs. Confirm your tractor’s PTO spline count and diameter.
• Gearbox input: Matches standard 1-3/8" 6-spline input shafts on King Kutter gearboxes. Verify your gearbox input spline count.
• Cross-reference: Replaces OEM King Kutter part #147029 and #147034. Also fits many aftermarket mowers with identical yoke and length specs.
• Warning: Not compatible with zero-turn mowers, finishing mowers, or non-3-point mounted implements.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Jeremywell is a budget aftermarket brand. Expect functional but basic construction—no heavy-duty clutches or premium u-joints. Fine for light to moderate use.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need to cut the shaft to exact length (measure twice, cut once). Shaft tube is typically telescoping and must be greased before use.
• Common gotcha: The shear bolt hole location may differ from OEM. You may need to drill a new hole or use a different shear bolt size. Check alignment with your gearbox.
• No manual included: Some buyers report missing instructions. Look up a generic PTO shaft installation guide online if needed.

Should You Buy It

If you have a King Kutter or compatible 3-point mower with a worn or broken PTO shaft, and you’re comfortable measuring and cutting to length, this is a cost-effective replacement for light-duty mowing. Avoid it if you need a heavy-duty shaft for rough terrain, large acreage, or commercial use—spend more on a name-brand (e.g., Weasler, Bondioli & Pavesi) with better u-joints and a shear clutch.
