Wrong U-Joint
I just got a U-Joint off eBay for my '15 T (the one in primer), but looks like I made a mistake. What is this one off of?

Muncie uses a special short female end that is also a bearing race. Female square into trans.George House wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2025 5:26 pmI had one like that for a Muncie Accy T transmission…..

I have seen shortened, stock U-joints that apparently work with no bearing support surface.
I have a NOS, Ford script, U-joint as OP shows. Looks factory assembled. Mistake??
I thought it might be for a PTO on a Fordson, since there are a few out there, but have not seen conclusive evidence.

Re: Wrong U-Joint
The rivets on the one in primer are not done by the factory. See how crude the peening is? It appears that someone made this version for some special purpose. Maybe to drive a PTO pulley???

I get your point. & the 2 rivets seen are in 2 different directions on OP's.
