YOKE (SOLID TYPE) OUTER LOCK 38MM CROSS SONALIKA, SHAKTIMAN & MAHINDRA

This solid-type yoke is manufactured for agricultural rotavators that use a 38 mm cross-section outer-lock PTO/drive coupling. It is compatible across three major brands — Sonalika, Shaktiman and Mahindra — providing a standardised replacement option. According to parts documentation, the code UJ-105 corresponds to “YOKE (SOLID TYPE) OUTER LOCK 38MM CROSS SONALIKA, SHAKTIMAN & MAHINDRA” in the parts/catalogue list.

Key features:

• Solid construction means the yoke has a solid bore/hub coupling rather than a bolted/shearing mechanism.

• Outer-lock style: The locking or coupling mechanism engages externally (versus inner-lock style) — make sure your existing shaft setup uses outer-lock.

• Designed for the 38 mm cross dimension (sometimes noted as 38 mm – 1210 cross) common in rotavator PTO/drives for these brands.

• Multi-brand compatibility: Works for Sonalika, Shaktiman and Mahindra rotavators — good for cross-inventory or mixed equipment fleets.

Usage & fitment notes:

• Confirm the cross shaft size is indeed 38 mm on your machine and that the coupling type is outer-lock. Mismatching bore/cross size or lock type will lead to fitment issues.

• Inspect the existing yoke for wear, deformation, or damage (especially where splines engage or where the outer lock locks in). Replacing with a solid-type yoke helps ensure firm coupling and minimise slack.

• When installing: ensure proper alignment, correct torque on locking hardware, and verify the outer-lock engages fully.

• After installation, check for any play, vibration or unusual noise during PTO/rotavator operation. These may indicate misalignment or improper fit.

• Because this is a “plain/solid type” rather than a shearing or spring pin safety type, it’s mainly suited for systems where a sacrificial shear mechanism is not required — ensure your machine is compatible with this type of coupling.
