Thank you

This is it. Shaft worked out to be average 1.125” hub is at 1.125”, grabs nice after 10 seconds or so. The pin is a tight fit. This will have a tack weld on the back as wel just to be sure.

My son has a rzr 170cc, with the throttle limited to 50-60% and he still managed to crack the frame clean off in the rear, lol, chain and sprockets are in bad shape already as well. He is 6, been driving sense he was 2.5-3 years old.

It definitely wasn’t the finest weld I’ve seen that’s for sure lol. But the hub was already damaged before welding. No shame in the atv either. I’m not sure the kms but I know the guy and a lot of those kms were hauling atleast 1/4 cord loads of wood. Through rough paths.

That’s odd, this is for a Honda atv. Seems around here to be common in all Hondas, because they usually have a straight axle. Whereas other brands have gone with cv axles with fail before any splines would. I’m not into small stuff like this. Most things I work with have atleast a 2-3 shaft...

I’m not sure what else to do with it. I guess we will see. Obviously splines don’t work, this is a common problem across all atvs

The whole shaft seems fine. Small bend but that’s normal. The hub will be removable, just not as easy as a splined hub. Same as an electric motor coupling. .001-.0015” interference. Which are removable with heat as well

I’ll post pics later but a buddy of mine has a stripped splines on the hub and axle. I was going to focus on new splines and get a new hub ordered but that failed before so it might again. I couldn’t find any info on anybody doing this but my plans are to machine the hub, measure, and build the...

These gaskets are seem the same design as a “spiral round” pipe gasket, for the aluminum head side with graphite on the manifold side. Very similar to a head gasket I guess but with the addition of graphite. Doesn’t take much to get a good seal. This manifold for example, from the rear to the...

First machining job here. I have a Ram 1500, this is the 3rd time for manifolds. So I fixed the passenger side a few months ago. They tend to warp so I draw filed it the finished it off with a palm sander lol. So the other day my drivers side manifold started to leak bad so I removed it and...

China doesn’t ship a sea container until it’s absolutely full. Then they wait for a deal on the ship to send it over. doesn’t matter if they have to wait an extra few weeks. That’s why it’s cheap.

Hmm, you might be into something. Looks good on guns. I was going to leave it like that but it will eventually flash over for sure. Im going to look into that

1.25”, I could’ve went with 1” I guess. My thought was I could alway face them off if they were to long. Either way it’s all good.
