Ransomes 728D Or Jacobsen UJoint

[Charles 728]

I had a new PTO shaft built for my Ransomes 728 mower and the components are manufactured by Weasler . The u-joint
used is Part # 200-0600 which is a "6" series u-joint . They are available from any power train supplier .

Thanks for the info. I contacted Jacobsen @ several locations & finally got a $185.00 answer. I cannot afford that; so your info is appreciated. Noticed you have a 728; I had to remove Steering cylinder; is there a sequence to bleed the hydro after reinstallation?

Not that I'm aware of . I assume one would just cycle the steering lock to lock with the wheels raised to purge any air , then recheck the fluid level in the tank .
I've changed hydraulic filters with no problems as far as bleeding .
