i dont think they are useable, one of them did work great but there is wear on it

cubcadet 06-24-2013 08:21 AM

worn down:bash2:

Nick it looks to me like those are worn beyond further use as drive shafts. maybe you could use them as giant tooth picks, building a mini fence or maybe some sort of ninja weapon.

LOL, yea one did work tho:biggrin2:

We pulled a similar looking one out or my 102 that looked more like a camshaft than a drive shaft and it still worked too.

Actually, they work quite well for fence building!! :bigeyes:

Cut a 6" length, drill 5/8" holes 3" deep in the two fence boards you wish to pin together, insert the driveshaft section!! :bigthink:

The material is so low cost, I would not risk using it in a tractor. Your other parts that are risk due to vibration make the new driveshaft a cheap investment.

Now, we have to come up with the Ninja weapon!! :biggrin2:
