Miller wagon safety clutch

One neighbor borrowed another neighbors older Miller wagons for 1st crop, and we borrow them as well and run them along with our own wagons so I can start chopping earlier than Dad is ready to run loads, and it works out well for us.

The yoke on the wagon side broke on them, and they were forced to buy an entire new shaft because the yolk on the wagon side has the OD turned down to go inside the bell of the safety clutch. His son pulled it back to the farm before they installed the new shaft (over $500) and in the process, lost the bell part of the safety clutch somewhere between the farms. If I can get some time, I'll disassmble the one on the second one and fab/machine one up to fit, but I don't know when I'll have some time to get to it. The yolk goes over the 1" shaft, the bell goes over the yolk, and then it's all pinned together with a 3/8" roll pin.

Would anyone happen to have a dead Miller wagon that could be parted out? Not sure what Miller would want for it, but if the PTO was any indication, it wouldn't be cheap and to be honest, the wagons have seen much better days. Don't want to just bypass the clutch on it either.

That is why I am always hate to borrow. The borrowed equipment will always breakdown, and repairs are either very$$$, or no parts avaialable. Hope Your hay is coming off good. Very little Alphalfa in bloom here yet, seems odd. Bruce

Been there plenty of times to know they don't really do much with chopper boxes. I'm just wondering if anyone had a dead one they could spare a part from. we don't borrow a whole lot but it's nice having 4 wagons to run instead of 2, and 3 is much better than 1 if one goes down.
