Ok so here is my question...
I was in Tractor Supply the other day and saw they sold u-joints. I happened to have one of my old Tom Woods drive line u-joints in the XJ (my xj loves to eat u-joint and launch drive lines through my floor board) so I went out and got it to compare.. The tractor supply u-joint looked like it was the same size, but the needle bearings were even bigger than Tom Woods ones, and the body looked like it was the same size.
Any reason I shouldnt run a u-joint ment for a tractor?
My only thoughts against it are maybe the u-joint is not exactly the same size (but I would be able to tell soon as I went to install it), I dont know if they are any stronger, and Im not sure if they are designed for higher speed applications.
Any comments?
