Try a driveline specialist. In Western Canada, we use Pat's Driveline (B.C. and Alberta). Most U-joints are standard to something, either vehicle or farm equipment. Most driveline specialists can identify u-joints by sight.

I just tried the vendor I use, messicks.com. The shaft assy is 588 from them. Personally I would rebuild it or have it rebuilt. You must have a driveshaft shop around you somewhere. We have three of them in my town. If you can't find one then let me know and I can find you a phone number for one here. It will cost a small fraction of that here to rebuild it.

I would seem to me that someone would sell the joint as an assembly.(much easier) . the joints look about the size of a steering column joint ...
