Jim , it is 5/8 od X 12 tooth  2" long .  The Hydra mac 6 C looks 
identical to it , trouble is finding one .  I have same problem with the 
4120 ,the hydra mac 5c looks the same . But thats looks , maybe not 
inside .  I did email Rick Windemuller and inquired about it but no reply .

  Both machines are working machines not trailer queens . The 4125 is my 
snow plow as it is in a lot better shape , make that was. Ivan
