No problem there..... I prefer to handle my own shaft- well so to speak.

Hey Tom,
Make sure you have metric 12 point sockets for the bolts on the driveshaft. Also, maybe on your punnie 3 1/2 inch shaft you will be able to get a torque wrench in there but it wouldn't fit on the big shaft.

Weather radio just went off here for a tornado warning. I guess I just want to see it coming if I'm going to get hit.

We had stuff like that here on Monday night, a tornado supposedly hit somewhere just north of Rockford, IL. Also southern Wisconsin got hit with one near Kenosha.

I was outside on Monday night at work, the wind was very strong on the open airfield, and lightning was lighting up the sky to the south of me.

Tom, was there a particular reason you went with Shaftmasters 3.5'' shaft verses their 4'' shaft.....besides the $100 difference?

Well the 3.5 is $100 MORE so it's not like I wanted to spend the extra money LOL..... I decided to do the 3.5" so that I had extra clearance and because it's rated for higher overall torque than the 4".
