Thread: Would you reuse this gearbox mainshaft?

A clearer pic of the mainshaft below. W

I wouldn't, but I may be more pedantic than most.
All the effort, you may as well do it right.

I wouldn't either.

Cheers, Mick.

No it's cactus I'm afraid.Best have a close look at the thrust surface of 2nd gear as that may have worn down a bit too.
Wagoo.

I wouldnt unless I needed to bush fix it to get it home.

I agree its hammered. I can get a good s/h one for 120.00. That will do the job. Im gettin parts next week. Getting a gearbox and transfer overhaul kit and gearbox parts next week. thanks for your replies. W

Hmmm good spotting wagoo once again. it looks not so good, a couple of high spots and some metal transfer. ill get another one. i wonder what happened? The area got very hot and flogged the mainshaft shoulder out, the metal went blue from the heat, thrust washers belted around and transfer of metal from the heat. This could be NO OIL in gearbox? W
