Background...

Have old (as in late 50s/very early 60s) utility mixer that was mounted
on old Farmall 560 w/ the two-point connection system and two other
brackets around the rear axles. No longer have the 560; am adapting
mount on little JD 955 utility tractor.

Have pulled the PTO shaft from the humongous casting that was mounted to
the rear PTO cover plate on the 560 but that is far too big in outside
dimensions to fit into the area around a PTO on any even recently modern
tractor...so the plan was/is to build another support structure to mount
from the drawbar hanger and whatever else can find that is convenient
and planned on bolting just some pillow blocks to it for the
bearings/support.


How about making a simple drive.

Tractor - PTO yoke - to a bearing cross to a section of steel car drive
shaft - end of shaft cut at correct length to allow drum to operate -
self aligning bearing pressed into a collar welded into end of drive
shaft section- bearing attached to fabricated support that can attach to
lower drawbar point or with a yoke to the lower guard bolts (or both for
stability)
