I'd like to find it in Raleigh or Fayetteville.

You can get the receiver tube at Northern tool, or Agri supply.

Im not sure where to get short lengths of 2x2 though.

any steel supplier. Its just standard 2x2x.25 and 2.5x2.5x.25 square tube

any steel supplier. Its just standard 2x2x.25 and 2.5x2.5x.25 square tube

Reciever tubing with the flattened seam sure does make it easier though.

Look up foy mart.. its north of raleigh on 64 but their prices are WAY better then dillon.

Well, I found a place in fay. they found a 3' piece that would be hard to sell and i bought another piece. all told it was 36 dollars. Not bad. I have it all welded and together, but since this little foray is finishing up a 2 year axle swap I found out that the exhaust is in the way. So it is in for now, so I can take the jeep to the exhaust people and have them take a look. I'll update this when I get a chance to test the D-shaft out.

Use pto shaft material. It is bell shaped and hardened very strong and easier to get to kinda balance. square is ok ny bro has been running front and rear for years but the pto is smaller and stronger
