The 687.35 tube yoke is a weld yoke for a 42×119.4 mm universal joint. Bearing seats, fork geometry and the tube connection are manufactured from the approved drawing for driveshaft production and replacement projects.
687.35 Tube Yoke for 42×119.4 mm Universal Joint | 2035 Series
Description
687.35 Tube Yoke Product Overview
The 687.35 tube yoke, also described as a weld yoke, connects the universal-joint cross to the driveshaft tube. It is designed around a 42×119.4 mm universal joint and Ø42 mm bearing bores. The fork and weld-end geometry are produced from the approved drawing so that joint articulation, bearing retention and tube alignment can be controlled during assembly.
MR Driveline supplies the 687.35 tube yoke for heavy-duty driveshaft manufacturing, repair programs and drawing-based replacement. Because tube dimensions and welding preparations can vary between shafts in the same general series, the mating tube size must be confirmed before an order is released.
Tube Connection and Joint Fit
A correct tube yoke must match both sides of the driveline: the 42×119.4 mm universal joint at the fork and the driveshaft tube at the weld end. The drawing shows the joint-side bearing features clearly, while the final tube outside diameter, wall thickness, register and weld preparation should be verified against the customer’s tube specification.

OEM / Equivalent Models
Identification references may include 687.35 and 2035 series. These numbers help locate the dimensional family, but they do not replace a fit check. Confirm the joint size, fork width, bearing-retention method, tube register, wall thickness and weld preparation before treating a part as equivalent.
What Must Be Verified Before Ordering
- 42×119.4 mm universal-joint size
- Ø42 mm bearing bores and retaining-groove details
- Fork width and bearing-seat spacing
- Tube outside diameter, inside diameter and wall thickness
- Register length, weld preparation and required overall length
A tube drawing or a measured sample is the safest way to confirm the 687.35 tube yoke connection. If the shaft will be dynamically balanced after welding, provide the intended assembly process and balancing requirement as well.
Manufacturing and Inspection
Inspection can cover bearing-seat position, bore size, fork symmetry, weld-end concentricity and runout. Material grade, heat treatment, surface protection and document requirements can be agreed according to the application and purchase quantity.

Ordering Checklist
Please provide quantity, application, universal-joint size, tube size, wall thickness, weld-end dimensions and a drawing or sample. MR Driveline will review the tube connection before confirming the 687.35 tube yoke for production.
FAQ
Is a tube yoke the same as a weld yoke?
In this application, both names refer to the yoke welded to the driveshaft tube.
Is the tube diameter fixed by the 687.35 series name?
No. The joint family is identified, but the tube connection still needs drawing confirmation.
Can the weld end be customized?
Yes. Tube register, wall-thickness fit and weld preparation can be reviewed for a drawing-based order.
