Even then it would have to be off 1/4" or more before it would affect balance. Now, a driveshaft in like a pickup truck, is about 3" in diameter. The size of that shaft would start having balance issues. But I've made my own driveshafts before with little to no balance before. It really has to be quite a bit off.
Sam, the tractor is looking good! I think that last super you took apart was dirtier though.  |
Definitely true. I'm with Jonathan.
