JaysHorse 287 #1 Posted April 6, 2020 Now I know there are several posts about this but I thought this was a pretty good idea on my part if I do say so myself. I needed a rockshaft and to be honest I’m to cheap to spend the money on one so I brain stormed. While walking past and old rotted out deck it came to me that some of the prefabbed parts would work perfect and I will post pics at the end. Ah screw it I will post the pics now and you boys can see my progress this far. Nice part about it is it required zero welding. Just so happens that the brass bushings on a foot pedal are the exact size to fit the holes under the seat pan and have a 3/4 inside diameter to accept the shaft. I had a couple of 3/4 shaft collars to use instead of the e-clips used in the factory setup. Cut the shaft 6” long and cut the arm that goes down to 6 1/2 long from center of shaft. All I have left to do is drill some holes and I just saved myself a boat load on fleabay costs. 8 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
