OK, that other post was starting to hurt.... as promioced however, here is the measurments I got tonight.


Also a sketch of how I made the measurements, so we can all do them the same:


T-all D44 rear:

61.5" WMF -> WMF
30.5" Axle Shaft Measurment


For Comparison: Scout II shaft:

28.5" Axle Shaft Measurment

Dude, what the hell did you measure it like that for? Why not just from flange to end :confused:

So he can establish his own standard with plenty of slop built in? ;)

are the flanges the same thickness

do you measure to the same spot on the flange I do

you still got to measure around the bearing..



sure, I could give you really fancy and exact measure ments of the damn thing, and even make a nice CAD drawing if you wanted, but why. It took 2 seconds, is repeatable, and no Mike, there really isn't any slop in it.


beside, we arn't going for exact length here, just comparison, and the differences will be large (1/2" or bigger) so we don't need three desimal places.

if you don't like it, blow me, it wil work for what we are trying to acomplish here, all we want to know is are the D44 shafts the same length as the D60-2 shafts... if they even measure with in a 1/4", then I would say they are.



shes, I try to make it easy, and you guys bitch :rolleyes:

Sure there is. Theres defects in the mounting flange, dents, nicks, bends etc not to mention any deflection of the shaft itself, which at that angle will be more significant than along the shaft. ;)

We also can't negate the the coefficent of expansion of a steel tape at 0.00000645 per degree Farinhiet.

And since the tape was not held on a level surface we must factor in the sag correction:

C(sag) = (w^2 * L(sag)^3)/(24*P(l)^2

After running these calculations for a 30 inch pull we get all of jack squat in slop....

well i mesured the shafts this morning.. i mesured parallel to the shaft, not at an angle i got 31" from outside of the flange(same spot as you) to the tip of the shaft (again same spot)
as i have yet to get my lazy ass back under it to read off the bom# my best guess on the origen of this is a 72 travelall.
