Built for Real Farm Work
This 14 series kit fits a variety of Howse rotary cutters and other PTO-driven implements commonly found on farms from 25 to 75 horsepower. Whether you’re maintaining pastures, clearing fence rows, or working food plots, these universal joints handle the constant angle changes and power demands that come with real farm work.
Made to Last
Weasler knows that PTO components can’t fail when you’re depending on them. This kit features hardened steel construction that stands up to the shock loads and continuous rotation of heavy implement use. The needle bearings are built to handle the radial forces while maintaining smooth operation season after season.
Installation Notes
Replacing these bearings is straightforward with basic hand tools, though you’ll want to clean out the old grease and inspect the yoke for wear while you’re at it. A little marine grease on the new bearings before assembly helps ensure they stay lubricated during initial operation. Take your time getting the snap rings seated properly—they’re what keep everything together under load.
