towed home again
Have major trouble with the "adapter" coupling for the driveshaft to the pinion. Seems that the coupler (10 spline to pinion, 6 spline to driveshaft) spins out where the two are connected. Can anyone give me a "proper" fix?
Have set the coupler up in the lathe to assure it being true, then welded around the center. Original appears tp be a tight fit and then "friction welded". Which failed. My fix to weld the two at the center joint has also failed.
At nearly 80 working mostly by myself and slowing down a bit I am tired of pulling the rear axle assembly, and then re-installing it only to find that my "fix" failed me again.
Having fun with my recently restored 46 Woodie with a Columbia, HOWEVER leaving home under good 6 cyl. power only to be returned on a tow truck or tow strap is embarrassing to say the least.
Any ideas for a permanent fix are welcome and appreciated, Please respond on the forum or private message.
