We just had one made for a 540B for $550 vs $1200 at Deere.

Ironmule2004    prob should have made 10 pieces  . price might have gone down per unit and you could have sold the others.

I was able to solve that floppy yoke by taking it to a welding shop and getting welded on square to the shaft.  Total repair cost $75.      When I was installing it I took all the skid plates off and noticed there is other floppy yoke.  Is this just my luck or was this typical of this machine?

You want to watch that front one. I have heard of them coming off/apart and putting a hole in the tranny. That may be with the C model.
