Has anyone had any luck welding up the taper and having it re-cut?
Does anyone know where I might find a replacement axle shaft?
Thanks,

Put "wanted" ads here, at HAMB (

When you find an axle that looks good be sure to have it magna fluxed before installing it. Be sure to run safety hubs or clips when it all goes back together.
Put your general location in your profile!!! A guy in your same town might have one but not want to mess around with taking pictures, giving descriptions and shipping (that sounds like me but I don't have an axle).
