old front drive shaft was at its limits.

this is a d44 pinion stub i used when i made the first shaft.  about ready to pop...

front 60 pinion bearing looks a little loose.

Those tires are hooking up well!

details of front axle just for giggles?

was it 4.10's as found or did you build it for the buggy build?

Was 4:10.

Smike do you spin down your 14b yokes to 2" ?

[M4wdFab]

no, but a 14 bolt pinion with the gear cut off is a light pres inside 2" x 120 wall dom- fine for a protected shaft- like on 571


572 rear mid shaft is 2" DOM with 1.75x250 wall dom pressed insided

this is a D60 pinion I machined to fit my pillow block bearing.  This will allow me to use a 1350 yoke.    i figure this is the weakest point in my driveline now.

[M4wdFab]

what size carrier bearing is that? 1.25"?  is it solid flange or hollow?


matt broke a hallow flange 2" on chocolate thunder

solid stainless pillow block with steel bearing.  yes 1.25"   

Im more worried about the pinion. I wonder if i weakened it with the machine work.  But i figure its the same as whats in the axle...

[M4wdFab]

i was wondering the same.  my band saw just sits and pollishes a pinion if you try to cut it.  have to use a cut off wheel.  you must have used some carbide serous tools on a lathe to cut the case harness off

[M4wdFab]

i bet your fine, the welding we do to the OD any way probably destroys the integrity of any added heat treat
