I am 74 years old and have been around some very talented mechanics and fabricators while working as a certified aircraft mechanic. I knew two personally, I worked for both of them building one of a kind prop driven aircraft. Their talents were beyond amazing. They seemed to have the various projects mentally completed before they picked up a wrench. Their efforts were always spot on no matter what the project. I put you in the same class as those talented men. Three cheers sir.

Have to add my kudos for the spline grinding. I've spent many hours using a mill and indexing head to make them. That was really slick the way you did it.

Many post-hole augers have been built in this way. They truly last forever. Great job!

[@CraftedChannel]

While grinding the splines was an artful demonstration, you had a lathe. You could have cut the splines off, turned down a stub end, bored a hole and welded the factory splines into the existing axle. No beating them. Very well done and interesting video.

[@the48thronin97]

that was the most impressive display of freehand angle grinding I have ever seen.

[@a4x4player]

Agreed! I was wondering how he was going to respline the shaft. Thought perhaps he was going to weld the old splines on the end. Nope. Excellent work!

[@robertatwood2503]

That was by far the most amazing part. I expected him to make a shoulder on both sides, cut out the middle and weld back the shaft.

Run a pto off of a transfer case via driveshaft and you mount the axle shaft end through the bed of a truck with a capstan style winch head. Works best with standard transmission! Great video. Never thought I'd see this on youtube

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

Pretty cool idea and nice work! Before I found a post hole digger at an affordable price for my Ford 3600 tractor, I was thinking about using a rear end a bit similar to how you made yours

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Heavy duty! You can turn a lot of blades with that gearbox!

[@ldwithrow08]

That would be a good way to up-speed a waterwheel too. Instead of hand cutting splines, I would have just turned the shaft down to about half the diameter of the splines. Then saw the splined end off the axle, drill down the center to match the shaft, slip it on and weld it in place. I've done that in emergency repairs a couple of times.

[@plasmaguy5]

Awesome work

[@fraserdouglas3693]

fantastic, i though how are you going to make the splines on your lathe? grinder saves the day. Did you get the splines to work on your first attempt or did you use the other shaft ? great video looking forward to the next one

[@DonnDIY]

And what's most important - cheap as dirt. I couldn't afford a new purpose built 90 degree gearbox from the shelf. :P

[@zlojadmin]

Donn DIY I would do similar thing i guess. Lack of money forces you think out of the box

[@jamesplotts3274]

That's very nice. I'd imagined using a rear axle for a vertical shaft wind turbine mount. Just dig a 3 foot hole and pour concrete around the one end of the axle. Then I could use a steel rod to transfer power from the yoke into my garage, where I could put the generator, etc.

[@integr8er66]

The gearbox would eat up all your power. Its wayyyy too heavy for that application, and way too inefficient.

[@barefootbilly7026]

[@fynbo1007]

Very clever solution, well thought. I have always head cast irons is difficult to welding? Thank you for sharing your amazing video. Look forward to your next project

[@DonnDIY]

The axle housing itself is made of sheet metal so welding it is not a problem. The pinion gear housing is made of cast iron but I haven't welded it.

[@fynbo1007]

Donn DIY thank you for your answer, I just knew that some of it would be cast iron. Look forward to your next step.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

I was about to say the same thing .. then noticed the seams where the housing has been folded and welded out of sheet metal.

[@ea333525]

I’m most impressed how you splined the shaft! 👍

[@LeadFoot500]

I have been looking for a way to make splines! Nice!!!

[@mountfields]

In the past we have used Triumph herald and jaguars diffs for right angle gearboxes, as they need no cutting . And if you use one “half-shaft” side as the "input" fix the other half-shaft so it won’t turn, then use the prop-shaft as the "output" it will be geared up around 4 - 1.

[@andrewhoward7200]

With Heralds and Jags being in short supply there must be other modern cars that you can use. Any ideas?

[@creak92]

Any rear diff of a RWD car that doesn't has a solid axle. No need to cut off or shorten the axle as there aren't any from the factory :)

[@andrewhoward7200]

Thanks for that. Off to the scrapyard then to find one as small as possible. I´m building a go-kart for my boy using a lawnmower engine but struggling a bit, anyway thanks again.

[@glennfelpel9785]

Excellent! what more can be said.

[@brucesimpson7169]

Its challenging to narrow a rear end for racing. Very sharp the way you tackled this project. For me to do this i would have to balance the axles first or else the vibrations would be out of control.

[@mossturn01]

I was wondering how you were going to shorten the halfshaft. They don't always weld too good. That was brilliant. Thanks for sharing. PS, don't forget the oil refill.

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!
