Tech Tip...Determining if driveshaft has spun

[SideHogger]

I've been brainstorming something new that I'm hoping to test this winter. Will work on a new shaft and a worn shaft and will not require removal of drive shaft. Should be real slick if it all comes together like I envision. Hoping to raise the bar to the next level for the poachers north of the boarder. Ha

Travis, anything?

Travis, anything?

It's still all on chicken scratch sketches on my bulletin board. Not much free time to yet. It will come together once I have time.

5200 but i had a vibration last year which I'm sure this was it so probably 4k when i started to notice it

Where was the vibration? I had a vibration start last season by my left foot. I'm thinking it's the bearing in question.

Even if your vibration isn't from bearing spin, if you haven't corrected for bearing spin, you probably need the Barn of Parts bearing fix... there have been other threads showing the fix. Here's a link to the part you need....

Driveshaft Repair Bearing | My Vxw Site As5u8b

This bearing works on worn or non worn driveshaft and uses set screws to ensure the shaft is turning with the bearing at all times. Installation Note: We are now recommending some blue loctite on the set screws during assembly.
