brush-hog drive shaft

[RZ_Ranch]

new to me "40 9N with ORC 1-1/8" female to 1-3/8" male - and had a brush-hog w/1-1/8" drive shaft that fit older 9N w/o ORC - looked at TSC for shaft adapter which will add another 4-6" to the PTO ( not the best solution) so I was wonder if I just replace the spline end of the u-joint all would be good. Only probem is what style u-joint do I have? There is no visible numbers on drive shaft or u-joint knuckles - TSC has about 6 different styles available. Is there somewhere a table or spec sheet that gives dimension of u-joints so I can match up new one?

Are there any part numbers/names/trademarks on the yoke? Manufacturers might include Spicer, Weasler, Blood Brothers, Rockwell, C&G, etc.

Can you post a photo that someone may recognize/be able to ID?

RZ_Ranch,Best thing to do would be remove the 1 1/8"female coupling from the ujoint+.Then take it with you to TSC for a 1 3/8 coupling match up.

How old is the ORC? Wouldn't an 1-1/8 to 1-1/8 solve the problem?

new orc or new yoke... both will work.. one is easier.. price may be about the same..

Thanks for the input guys - just thought I could save myself the added trip to the store before hand. @ Bob as stated no name/numbers anywhere, going to do as others suggested and take yoke to store and match. Thanks again all.
