I recently purchased a 1980 Ford Shay. Mine is the "reproduction" Model A Roadster Pickup. Yesterday I noticed that the rear driver side tire was wobbling. I pulled the shaft and noticed that about 1/3 of it was missing. I expect that the shaft was over heat treated or for some other reason failed. The shaft has a number "9E8CA" located between the four bolt pattern with a ford insignia molded into the surface.
I am told that Shay used all Ford products and most were the small format Pinto parts. This is a 17 spline shaft. Any one know where I can pick up one. If not how about a line on a rearend.
