howardman 30 #1 Posted November 6, 2016 Picked up a single speed trusty tractor a few months back (non runner) but unfortunately it held a nasty surprise in the form of a worn down pinion shaft. Here is a photo of a the bad one that came off the Right hand side and the OK one that was fitted to the left hand side. Got a price for €500 !!! to make a new shaft . If anyone has any leads send me a pm . Seems to be only complete machines that come up for sale . I don't think I have ever seen a more worn down shaft !!!! brings a new meaning to driven into the ground!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #2 Posted November 6, 2016 Can't see why it would cost any where near that money, try someone that does waterjetting or laser cutting should get one made for under £100 if you have any problems send them to me I have some good contacts 1 howardman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardman 30 #3 Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks for the offer but i have brought it to several engineering shops and to they were all around the same price ..it is a shaft splined on both ends and case hardened . I will track one down eventually and mean while i am restoring a howard gem 180 degree twin..thankfully running now after new pistons and a re bore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
