I have made a seeming endless number of phone calls and loads of emails from east to west coast yet some how this yoke still evades me. It's for my Pettibone log skidder with a Gearmatic 9 winch. I need the 1 3/8" 6 spline 4c yoke that goes on the winch. Everywhere I call and everyone I talk cant even find a part number for such a thing? Where should I look? Anyone on here have one? I found 1 drive-line shop that might be able to get one but they aren't sure and still don't know. Anyone know anyone with lot of older parts to try giving a call or sending an email? Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Attached is a picture from this forum that is my only proof such a yoke exists.

Where are you? If you have Mennonites around I bet they'd machine something up for you. Anyway, something to ask. We had some yoke/universal issues and they fixed us up but that was for an ag tractor but it was unusual.
Have grob inc make one for you. Only other thing i can say is that pettibone planetaries end up in monster trucks. SO that means the crowd that might have that stuff is on pirate4x4, monstermayhem and trucksgonewild.
It looks like the yokes under a clark michigan or hough loader. Dont know if theyre coarse ag spline pinions or not though.
Delks equipment up near jamestown tn is a forestry equipment wrecker. Might try him
Did you check Spicer? They have the best catalogs with everything shown in measurements, styles of yokes, number of splines, etc.
Try fortwayne clutch and driveline they seem to have a lot of industrial C flange yokes with industrial spline
Here are blanks you could have broached or EDM'd.. Or weld on an AG bushing to the end then shorten driveshaft. I couldnt find a 1-3/8 6 spline.

I second the off-road 4x4 route. We got ours for a Clark done at a shop that specializes in 4x4 custom gear.
Have you tried Universal Joint Sales? (315) 475-7241^^(800) 724-0593 / +1-(315) 475-7241^^(800) 724-0593,Local at 805 Spencer St, Syracuse, NY
is the yolk broken? why are you replacing it?
Worse, its runny! ;D
That picture is mine from my clark with a gearmatic 19 winch, on the winch side any similar skidder with that winch should have that yoke. Know of any equipment boneyard or such near you? Shouldn't be hard to find there's a ton of gearmatic winches out there. If it's broken you could always weld it up or bring it to a machine shop and have them make you one.
I can check In my parts manual tommorow to see if It has a part number if that would help.
I needed a winch yoke for my Franklin, I was able to find one but refused to pay the price. Being a machinist by trade I made it. I have a good selection of good machines where I work. I was going to burn the splines on a wire EDM but found a 1-3/8 10 splined coupling. The coupling was an Ebay purchase for around $50.00 and it made the rest of the yoke a piece of cake. Did a line to line fit on the to match the splined coupling. Put the yoke in the machine to get the proper length and TIG it in and good to go. I used CNC machines to make mine but it could be easily made on a manual lathe and mill.
8) 8) I wish I had some machining skills. :(
In the machining world your biggest limitation is your imagination.
Why not use an agricultural 1 3/8" 6 spline and swap out the end caps on the universal joint? Probably have to machine the outside of the ag yoke to fit the winch seal diameter.
Sean, pretty sure i have seen something like this, searching for Rockwell t-226 yokes.

Sean, check there, there is some six splines. In French, but there's the spicer numbers i think.
