vertical shaft ?????????

[Plank]

Need a new vertical shaft, the rust has taken its toll on the old one, seal wont seal. Went to see a friend of mine and he told me about an epoxy you apply to metal that fills in the rough areas so the seal will seal again. Never heard of such an epoxy, was wondering if any of you guys know anything about this stuff, what it is called and if it works. Thanks

If ya say it's taken it's toll let it go. You'll end up spending more time, money and grief in the long run and not having any fun with your outfit.

Hey Planks,<br />Don' know what kid of engine ya got but if you can,t find another shaft, take the old one to a machine shop. There's several ways to build the shaft back up and then machine it to fit the seal. Don't know about cost though. Lettus know what ya do.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Check out if you can use a SPEEDY SLEEVE. Put loctite on the shaft and press it on.Not as good as getting it built up and remachined but may be cheaper for your application.
