I am checking interest in repro 904 main shafts. I think I can get them either made or made out of 901 shafts for much less than the $1800-2000 that they are commanding now.

Rich,
I don't think a gear specialty machine shop is necessary. All I need is a good precision machinist to do the preliminary cut to establish the minor diameter, and a final cut for the shoulder. The shop I've used locally for the previous shafts I've modded is perfect for this. In fact I will be seeing them soon for a little ski shooting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Maybe I should plan on bringing them several mainshafts to get the ball rolling. Dave P, I read Grady's article before I started my first shaft mod and decided to go one better by building up half of the splines before welding the gear in place. I think this method should handle more than the 200hp limit Brant mentioned. |
