ISO CV-joint

[jaoneill]

Back in '82 I bought a New Idea 485 round baler that had a constant velocity (CV) joint(s) on the PTO. May have been only on the tractor end, can't remember for sure, but it certainly was a huge improvement over a standard U-joint when it came to turning corners, especially under load.
About 5 years ago I got back into making hay and bought a New Idea 484; a 4' version of the 5' 485, essentially the same baler, but this one has standard U-joints. Anyone here happen to have a CV joint shaft kicking around that they might sell or where one might find one other than AGCO?

Ok, I've checked out the different supply houses and CV joints are readily available but in the $500-$600 (and up) range. This is a 25 year old baler and I'm a 75 year old, semi retired guy that only bales 80 or so acres of hay; as sweet as one would be, that's a bit much at this stage of the game, but a used one for a couple of hundred might make sense.
