It looks to me like you may be in luck. that shaft is long enough to cut off about 2" from the end of it. Then you will need it to be 5 1/2" longer, which allows for an extension and an external support bearing. If you can get a second sector shaft from another similar box, then you can cut it off and slide a machined sleeve over it, then pin and rosette weld the sleeve to the cut off end of the existing unit and put a support bearing on the outside of the sleeve. Be sure to use a 'self aligning' type of bearing, rather than a rigid bushing, as this will allow for any slight misalignment of the shaft without causing it to bind as it turns. Since your pitman arm will only travel through about 90 to 120 degrees total, it should work fine.Last edited by brianrupnow; 01-22-2007 at 05:56 AM.
