PTO drive shaft?

without being able to tell how big around it is, it looks like a steering shaft or a PTO shaft

When i bought the deuce i wanted to put a winch on it so i got a winch off one of the trucks he had and this driveshaft (5 ft long) is what he handed me also , i tried fitting both ends onto the winch but it seems to be small

That's a steering shaft off of something. Fine spline, cross bolt for clamping and keeping from pulling off...steering shaft something or other. Definitely not deuce PTO.

Definetly a steering shaft,most likely fits a M39 or M809 series 5 ton with the late style power steering. Looks to be about the correct length.

Agree that it is stearihng shaft. The fine spline is not usually used on a PTO shaft, otherwise it could be used as a PTO shaft, if its within its capacity. Change out the U-joint, for one that is conventially used in accessory applications.
