Sam, the only 2000 series driveshafts I have found are pricey(2 bills) or I would have gone that route, I also thought about the wire and electricity fix. How much flex can there be with everything mounted solid?
This was all FUBAR when I got it, I had the coupler welded up, a new driveshaft and pin, after about 3 hrs run time it sheared the pin. Been rollin ever since with a bolt.
Still use a rag joint at the other end or no?
If the driveline has no rag joint(s) or poly slugs somewhere I would think an all metal set up would send vibrations thru out the tractor.
