do i get 20 guesses:confused:

the brass throws me, but the 6' shaft tells me it's a driveshft for a 141, 161 geared threader.

still have 19 more if i'm wrong.

rick.

a picture will take all the fun away:D

I'm with Rick as it sounds like a drive shaft for a geared threader but the brass makes it sound non-Ridgid all together.

He's gonna have to elaborate, give us a pic even.
There's no possible way Ridgid made a universal with brass...those things take huge torque.
I wonder if the "25lbs of brass" is maybe a spare piece of scrap thats just with it?
