This shaft transmits torque from the front-loader pump or drive mechanism to the implement mounted on the loader arms. It is the rotating link that transfers power through the loader’s pivot points. A worn or bent shaft causes vibration and uneven implement movement, which accelerates wear on the universal joints and bushings it drives. The original Stoll shaft is machined to the same spline profile and length as the factory assembly, so the retaining pins and snap rings seat correctly without modification. On installation, verify that the shaft rotates freely in its supports before locking the fasteners.
