1-1/8 to 1-3/8 adapter

dan shu · May 13, 2014

This adapter will not go far enough on y 2N...the area where the nut and bolt goes swells out and does not go all the way on my spline. Do they make a ORC that is 1-1/8 male and a 1-3/8 female ? Thanks.

Sorry I mean 1-1/8 female and to 1-3/8 male

Yes they do and the ORC is a much better choice than the adapter, especially if you are going to use a rotary cutter.

Thanks...found one they want $55...but then $15 shipping. Still need it so I will order.

remember to re measure you pto shaft after adding the adapter to make sure it does ot bottom the shaft out.

Can you explain this...Im using a 4 foot finish mower Thanks a lot.

adding a orc decreases the length between your pto stub and the input shaft to the mower. this sometimes makes the colapsable pto shaft bottom out and BIND. this usually damaged one or both bearings and seal assemblies on the tractor and mower!

Got it thanks as always.

You don't need an ORC on a finish mower.
I would just get the little sleeve type adapter for about $6 or so.
The trouble with using an ORC is you usually have to shorten your drive shaft to accomodate the extra length of the orc.
Then when you gut a different tractor that doesn't require an orc you'll have to buy new drive shafts for everything.
While I agree you want an orc on a rotary mower they are just a PIA for everything else.

Wish you lived close to me in central Alabama. I've got one of those orc's that I would give to you. Don't want to fool with shipping though.
