Title: fuc*ing drive shaft
Post by: Ralph Brunt on March 15, 2009, 06:49:19 AM

i need to change the oil in the boat and change my drive line, at about 3200-3600 it would growl then go away. i am not sure if  it's the shaft or the angle i set the motor :banghead: i put a shaft in that didn't need a pto because i wanted all the interior room i could get.
 we got the motor out

i stared to chisel it out but that was getting me now where O0 :banghead: these are grade 8 bolts so drilling them is next to impossible. i dont have a torch to melt the lock tite so i stick the drill in there and build up  some heat, and walla

If it's not one thing it's a friggen 100, how straight is the DL? I cheat, I set the motor dead on then raise the front of the motor a tad (tad= 1/4"-1/2") I have a couple of drive shafts I made that don't have U-joints, they're a piece of pipe welded to the splined and pto yokes, but dead on straight. Glad you got it out, that had suck written all over it...

Every team needs one talker and one doer.
