Splined Yoke 02-Interfering Bolt for PTO Shaft

The Splined Yoke 02-Interfering Bolt is a tractor-end PTO yoke with a through-bolt retention that physically engages the PTO shaft groove for maximum connection security. Available in 1 3/8″ Z6 (540 RPM), 1 3/8″ Z21 (1000 RPM), and 8-32×38×6 metric spline configurations. The bolt requires deliberate wrench removal, making accidental disconnection virtually impossible. Ideal for heavy-duty, high-vibration, or safety-critical PTO applications across Series 1 through Series 8.

Description

Splined Yoke 02 (Interfering Bolt) — Maximum-Security Bolt-Retained PTO End Yoke

Splined Yoke 02-Interfering Bolt for PTO Shaft

The Splined Yoke 02-Interfering Bolt employs a through-bolt retention system that physically interferes with the PTO shaft groove, creating one of the most secure yoke-to-shaft connections available. Unlike push pin designs that can potentially disengage under extreme vibration, the interfering bolt requires deliberate wrench removal — making it the preferred choice for high-torque, safety-critical PTO applications. Available with Z6, Z21, and metric spline bores, this versatile yoke covers both 540 RPM and 1000 RPM configurations.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🔒 Through-Bolt Mechanical Lock

Bolt threads through yoke body into PTO shaft groove — virtually eliminates accidental disconnection under any vibration.

⚙ Triple-Spline Configuration

Z6 (540 RPM), Z21 (1000 RPM), and 8-32×38×6 metric within the same series range.

💪 Rated for Heavy Implements

Bolted connection withstands higher axial and radial loads than spring-based push pins.

🔧 Tool-Required Removal

Wrench-actuated bolt adds safety layer — no accidental separation during operation.

🔥 Hardened Bolt & Groove

Both retention bolt and shaft groove are hardened to prevent wear over years of use.

🛡 Five Variants per Series

B (Z6), D (Z21), G (8-32), C (1 3/4″ Z6), E (1 3/4″ Z20) cover every PTO standard.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Fits all standard PTO output shafts: 1 3/8″ Z6 (540 RPM), 1 3/8″ Z21 (1000 RPM), 8-32×38×6 metric, and 1 3/4″ Z6/Z20 (heavy-duty 1000 RPM). Compatible with all major tractor brands including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, CLAAS, and Kubota.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1 — Identify Your PTO Standard: Z6 = 540 RPM standard; Z21 = 1000 RPM standard; metric 8-32 for certain European models.

Step 2 — Select Bolt Engagement: Ensure your PTO shaft has the groove for interfering bolt engagement. Most modern tractors support this.

Step 3 — Match Series to Cross Kit: A dimension determines cross kit size. Series 1 (22mm) to Series 8 (35mm).

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🔧 Heavy-Duty Operations
Large rotary cutters, brush hogs, stump grinders requiring maximum connection security
🌾 Rough Terrain Farming
Hillside mowing, rough paddock operations where vibration is extreme
💧 1000 RPM Applications
High-speed PTO drives for large manure spreaders, high-capacity pumps
⚙ Safety-Critical Equipment
Equipment where accidental PTO disconnection poses serious safety risks

🛠 Installation & Usage Guide

  1. Select correct spline variant: Confirm B, D, G, C, or E designation matches your tractor PTO output.
  2. Slide onto PTO shaft: Align splines and push yoke onto tractor PTO stub shaft.
  3. Insert and tighten bolt: Thread the interfering bolt through the yoke body until it seats in the shaft groove. Torque to 25-35 Nm.
  4. Verify bolt engagement: Attempt to pull yoke off shaft — it should be completely locked.
  5. Assemble drive shaft: Connect cross kit, PTO tube, and implement-end yoke.
  6. Safety shield: Install PTO safety guard before operation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does the interfering bolt differ from push pin?
The bolt threads into the shaft groove requiring a wrench. Push pins use spring force and hand operation. The bolt provides stronger retention.
Which spline type — Z6, Z21, or metric?
Z6 for 540 RPM at 1 3/8″. Z21 for 1000 RPM at 1 3/8″. Metric 8-32 for some European tractors. Check your manual.
Can the bolt be replaced?
Yes. Replacement bolts are standard hardware. Use correct grade and length.
Is this suitable for 1000 RPM PTO?
Yes. Z21 and C/E variants are specifically for 1000 RPM.
What torque for the bolt?
25-35 Nm depending on bolt size. Do not over-torque — can damage shaft groove.
Can I convert from push pin to bolt?
Only if PTO shaft has bolt groove. Some shafts have both push pin and bolt provisions.
