Square Front Driveshaft Question

Why bother, he's got a huge machine shop at his disposal. Machine the yoke where you want it to phase the driveshaft, and weld the crap out of it with a 220 mig or arc. I mean really burn that sucker in there. It might be helpful to pre-heat the yoke and use a high-nickel wire/rod, since you are welding to a cast yoke. Ask Tad about that, i'm not an expert.Brad W.

Originally posted by GrimjawOK, if its a square shaft going to a round yoke, mill the shaft to fit the yoke. First slip another smaller piece of square tube in the Small shaft. Drill and plug weld them on the flats. Then mill down the corners of the shaft to fit in the yoke and weld them together. This way there will be no loss of strength at the joint.
Then again, I am Capt Over Kill....
I have thought this over more and here is my final decision. I will mill the yoke to fit the 2x2 tube inside... seam weld the 2x2 to the yoke... grind a small portion of the outer flange (and some of the protruding weld) of the yoke square so that the 2.5x2.5 tube fits over BOTH the 2x2 and yoke where it is square and then seam weld the 2.5x2.5 (2" long) to the yoke and also seam weld it to the 2x2. Triple mechanical connection reinforced with welds.
Thanks for your help and ideas everyone.Last edited by BRUTUS; 11-03-2006, 01:05 PM."Brutus" '74 J10 360/T18/D20/Front D60 Pro Rock & ARB/2" shave, ARB, 15 bolt FF Rear/ 4.56 Gears/38.5 x 16 TSL

yep. I like the idea of the collar over the milled and welded yoke, can't hurt to have another connection. Post up some pics of how it turns out.Brad W.

Square-tube shafts are a proven solution for off-roading, and as a noted benefit, you can let it churn away over the rocks where even a thick-wall round shaft is going to distort, twist and fail.1987 J-20

You can just see the hexagon shape in the last picture.
We did a write up on the rig in 2005, you're more than welcome to go take a peek. The write up is in Hebrew, but the pictures aren't.I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
