This is a rear shaft. The front shaft in these machines is much longer. Always verify length (354 mm) before purchasing.
For shaft installation, high-strength inch bolts are necessary (usually 4 per side). It is also important to regularly grease the U-joints and spline via grease nipples.
Breakage of the rear drive shaft under load (e.g., while dozing) can cause sudden loss of drive and uncontrolled machine behavior. Play in this shaft is often the cause of clunking noises when changing direction (forward/reverse).
Shaft 3590372 transmits drive from the transmission directly to the rear drive axle.
