Murray Drive Shafts
To match the correct Murray drive shaft, start with your model number or the part number stamped on the old component. Garden Tractor Spares lists genuine and OEM replacements to help you compare fitment accurately. These shafts carry power from the gearbox to the wheels, and worn splines or keyways can lead to clicking or uneven drive. Before ordering, check whether the drive key has failed, as that is often the cheaper fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if the shaft splines are worn?
Look closely at the splines and keyways, as wear in these areas can lead to drive cutting in and out. If those sections are visibly worn, the shaft will not transfer drive cleanly from the gearbox to the wheels.
What should I compare before ordering a drive shaft?
Use your original part as the guide and compare the shaft itself carefully. The key areas to check are the splines and keyways, because that is where wear affects how the drive is passed on.
Could a cheap part be causing the drive problem?
Yes, the drive key should be checked before replacing the shaft. It is sacrificial, and if it has sheared it can stop the shaft from passing drive properly while being much cheaper to replace.
