Ok, it happened again. While on a quick trip to Home Depot the drive shaft coupling I had made last year broke again. It appears the cause of the demise is vibration from a bad connection with # 2 transmssion shaft (albero secondario part # 524022). The rifling on the end of the shaft is worn, probably because of the ham-fisted "rebuild" one of the previous owners attempted using a chisel to get the gears in line. We properly repaired the transmssion a year ago but I guess the shaft was too far gone. I have a word out to the likley suspects but thought that someone might know of a transmission being parted out or for sale. Fortunately I have the tooling to make a new coupling.
Thanks.
Sam
