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.

Last week I dropped off 4 mainshafts at my machinist (at their Christmas party) after grinding off the F gear teeth.
Today we discussed options for securing the removable gear and came up with a workable solution. In order to retain the removable 2nd gear we plan to use a thin hardened washer between the gear and the intermediate plate bearing inner race. This will require moving the gear forward on the shaft slightly to create clearance for the washer. A small misalignment of the two gears in the 2nd gear pair shouldn't cause any problem. The rear side of the retaining washer will be at the same position as the existing shoulder that the bearing race presses against so the overall position of the shaft will remain the same. |
