[AJD] Drat.

[Louis Spiegelberg]

Eric,

It sounds like you are in southeast MI.  I am in northern Ohio.  I am
halfway between Cleveland and Cedar Point.  I am in Birmingham.  If you look
at a map, find Vermilion, it is right along the lake.  I am 6 miles south of
there.  

Looking in the parts book, if you have a styled AO/AR, it should use the
same crank as the late styled A.  My tractor is SN 597XXX.  It uses crank
part #AA3926R, casting # A3322R.  This is the same crank that is used in
AO/AR tractors SN 272000 and up.

Happy New Year,

Lou

The splines are completely hammered from running loose for an extended 
time. The end of the crank sticks out past the driver about 1/8". 
There's about 1/8" of slack radially between the driver and crank 
splines as well. I had the name of a shop to repair it a while back, but 
the cost of shipping and repair was higher than the cost of this 60 
crank including the drive to pick it up. Seems that being near Detroit, 
I should be able to find someone locally, but I haven't...I've been 
looking for someone to repair my steering shaft races as well. Can 
anyone think of a reason I couldn't just cut down a longer shaft from a 
standard A?

Louis;
Thanks for the offer-let me know what that crank looks like. Where are 
you located? I have a trip to eastern Iowa to make to pick up a sheller, 
with no particular schedule.

Eric
