[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 37447, member: 2781"] A few remarks further on Greg's subject if I may . The earlier shaft if it went a bit sideways after the sleeve moved off the joint did lead to breakage to one side of the forked end . Big headache ! The new shaft replacing that original having the projecting pin stayed in line and fully engaged so eliminating the problem . I had this happen in the early 50s to my Rapide and fixed it by cross drilling the bevel shaft end and the sleeve and affixing it with a split pin so locking the sleeve in position over the joint . no further problem after that . Sid . [/QUOTE]
