    LT230 spud shaft manufacture

    Gday gents.

    Im in the midst of a project mating an LT230 to a Merc 722.6 auto.
    I have finished the adapter plates and need a spud shaft.
    My intention was to find a machine shop to respline the female end of a ZF spud shaft to suit, but I’m having trouble finding someone who will tackle the job.
    I have had a quote to manufacture the required shaft that came in at ~ $1700, not what I was expecting.....
    I know there is an adapter and shaft available from onlinegearbox, however it isn’t for the output shaft in my box and the adapter is longer than I want.

    If anyone has accomplished similar or knows a shop in Vic. that would respline an existing spud shaft please let me know.

    Cheers
    D

    $1700 sounds about right for a one off custom shaft built with the correct materials and properly hardened.

    Does the merc gearbox have a flanged output? Could you use a Rakeway flanged input shaft in to the LT230 box?

    Try Coljen gear cutting in Heidelberg - they are happy to take on one off stuff and do good work. Word of warning - they are a production shop so one offs can take a while - I had some steering shafts resplined by them - took a while, but I wasn’t in a rush. Nice people, easy to deal with.

    I'm curious. May I enquire what's in front of the Merc 722.6 auto?

    This is one I got Rakeway to make to join a ML722.6 to an LT230. I also got them to re-spline the input gear on the TC
