Help with Input shaft pin

[zeropointbug]

Well, you know... we COULD just weld it. It would have to be a good weld, to maintain shaft balance. Maybe just two tacks on each side?

I finally put the hex over to the input shaft .
Boy it was hard to put into with a hammer there is no way it will get slip and out of that hole,for a while I thought it will not go inside,I file it first just like SSS did suggest and it finally went all the way in to the other side with a hammer. here is a pic

Here is mine that I did. Guess what happens when your pin is to large? :026:

I had to use my old gear after I broke the new one! :035:
But it turned out very well, it was a very, very tight fit. I had to stop hammering it, and use a large vice to force it in. It worked!

Oh, i forgot to mention, i used a drill bit end. I can't remember what size but i had to grind it down alot, the first one showed it wasn't ground down enough.:024:

So hopefully this stands up to my 7XL. The gear is actually to original gear from my first emaxx.... 6 years old! :005: Still looks as good as the new, only a little grime inside the gears.

I did some test runs with it and so far it is holding up really good thanks for the tip guys:027:
