On shafts that have a smaller mid section than splined end, like my Johnson, what is the best way to shorten the shaft? Welding? Pinning? Squaring and adding a coupler? Something else?
We have cut one end square, and the other five sided, then we get a socket wrench that fits the square, and the five sided on the other. Like a half inch SNAP ON socket...
Socket size depends on the shaft sizes, of course.
I'm an "IDEA" man.....Thanks, Brian, for correcting me....six sides , five sides....There is a difference, but we don't use the 12 point socket, only the six, seems stronger.
Bill Curtis uses a craftsman deep socket and cuts the square end off Makes both ends six sided
Great. Thanks. :) Sorry but that leads me to another question. :eek: Since the thin section of the shaft is .500" and the larger sections are .625" would I want to cut at the lower transition (arrow in pic) and make the four sided end on the .500" and the six sided end on the .625"? With a six sided deep socket I guess I would have to stick to the .500" section just above the lower transition? I know Craftsman also makes 1/2 in drive sockets for 1/2 in (and larger) square nuts. . .
I will be shortening the shaft approx. 5 inches. Thanks again for the info. Dave
