On our 1688 the final drive shaft coming out of the tranny is just about stripped out. Guessing it did not get greased enough.We welded an extention to the coupling to get us by for a while. How big of a job is it to replace the shaft coming out of the tranny? Do you have to pull the tranny? Need advice. Thanks

not a huge job parts are heavy though dont have to pull tranny but it makes the job easier you drain the oil and pull off the brake chamber getting the cotter pin out sucks then you pull the shaft assembly ithink they are ferry bolt heads and the shaft bearing and all come out and it is heavy have a jack of some kind, take it to the dealer and have it rebuilt or get some literature out of service manual for doing it yourself
