I will be using new bolts, I like the look of new bolts plus I like being able to work on the tractor in the future without having to worry about hurting the hardware. The tractor already has a bunch of mismatched random hardware anyway, I will probably go stainless for most of the hardware.

I posted this in the wanted section but am posting here to help get more views. I bought a nf spring assist that's missing the rod that goes from the spring to the bracket on the rockshaft, If someone has one I would be interested. If not then I need someone to trace the rod on paper and mail it to me so I can make my own, you can pm me or post in this thread. Thanks.

I am beginning to wonder if he is doing anything.... nary a pic.

Do you want pics of me ordering parts? I will get some time this weekend to work on it and I will be sure to post some pics.

That's the spirit! You know, somebody has to post this....

We know you're busy, but hey the gang has still gotta get their jabs in.:biggrin2:
Seriously, looking forward to your documentation when you have an opportunity.

Yosemite Sam has made some in the past so maybe give him a shout. They are also available here;

Anyone send you a tracing Tim?

Don't use s/s in strength applications. The strong stainless hardware is expensive and the stuff you get at the hardware store is a lesser grade.

Driveshaft ships Thursday. I sent an email with the tracking number.

Not yet.:bigthink:

Thanks for getting the shaft done so fast, you the man Jeff.:beerchug:
