Constant velocity shafts

We just redid the drive line on our B320 batwing this winter from the front carrier bearing back and I got to wondering if it is possible to make a constant velocity shaft for the short shaft from the carrier bearing to the tractor. The shaft on it now is an equal angular, but only works on our ford tractors, which are 13 inches from the drawbar to the end of the pto shaft. My allis 7000 is exactly 14 inches, but it doesn't turn too well with this set up, right now, it uses mostly the rear u joint. Has anyone ever assemebled their own CV joint or have any suggestions on how I could make that would cut back on the rattling so it is easier on the driveline. I was thinking of trying to find a double u joint cv joint in the cat. 3 size and using that on both ends of it. I was thinking it would be cheaper in the long run since there would be less wear on the shafts, but would like some input and any information on attempting to do this. Thanks

O. K. I am not the brightest tack in the box but what is a catagory 3 drive shaft? Drive shafts comes in series. like 1310, 1350, etc. Do you have a 2 piece 3 joint shaft or a 2 joint one piece shaft. Is your drive shaft of American or European manufacture? Do you understand drive line angles? Is this a 540 or 1000 RPM shaft? Also are you dealing with angles in two planes?

Catagory 3 is a rating based on the torque the driveline can handle and is changed by using different sized shafts and yolks and universals. It is an american made woods 20ft batwing, old model. It is a 3 joint drive line, 2 pieces. Runs at 540 rpms. There is not much angle in the vertical plane, that can be chanced with the placement of the carrier bearing, which on my 7000, when raised some, helps some, but still has quite a bit rattling at times. I understnad about equal angular drivelines in how it is supposed to put equal angles on each u joint, therefore canceling out the vibrations. Mine however tends to bend at the rear joint more on my tractor, but is even on the fords. Only a 1 inch difference is what I need, but not sure how to fix that, as the next hole is 16 inch or like 8 or 9 inch on the drawbar. I will try to work with it some this summer again. Maybe it is not on the drawbar well enough since woods uses the ball on a single clevis for a hitch pin, meaning the tractor needs the 2 clevis set up... I will have to check that out.
