Daron1965 644 #1 Posted August 20, 2018 I'm going to attempt to make a rockshaft and cable for my 312_8. Can someone please tell me the dimensions of the shaft? Any ideas will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,788 #2 Posted August 20, 2018 The axleshaft is 3/4 " with brass bushings and C-clips keeping both in place. The other measurements I can find tomorrow morning (it's later evening here now) along with a few pics. But most likely someone more local to you will be able to help sooner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 1,788 #7 Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Sorry I haven´t gotten back to you with info yet. My little girl broke her arm, and it kind of took priority and focus. I will post it before the weekend Edited August 22, 2018 by Skipper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 1,788 #9 Posted August 24, 2018 OK, so this is a pic and some quick measurements. Shoot if you have any questions. Axle is 3/4 " and 8 inches from c-clip grove to grove There are a bushing and a washer held in by a C-clip on each side. The two rock arms are 6 and 4 inches long from center hole to center hole. Placed 2 inches and 3 inches in. (Ain't rocket science so there about is just fine) You could perhaps just use one arm, with several holes in to give you adjustability. Short arm connects to tiller or.... Long arm to lift pivot point under the tractor via wire. Remember, dont need to be complicated. It's just a shaft that rotates in two bushings, with an arm to pull on, and a shorter one (or the same) that pulls in the implement. That gives you a gearing on it, and certainty where the lift wire goes. You could also use bearing blocks instead of the bushings and so on. Function over form. If you think it's too much to do, I think Lowell has them ready for shipping in new replica. You find him in the vendors section 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
