This is on a 94 Max II
18hp Briggs and Stratton
You will need:
Grinder
Welder
I got all my parts from tractor supply.
Parts List:
-1/2x1x2 inch steel bushing (anything will work but the inside diameter needs to be 1/2in)
-1/2in steel pipe (hollow or solid, you only need about a foot)
-shift knob of your choosing, I haven't found a matching one yet.
-2 1/2in inside diameter spacers/washers (the think ones)
Start by cutting the cross shaft. I cut mine an inch and a half from the shift lever. Clean up the rough edge at the cut.
Weld the spacer on leaving 1 inch of the cut shaft exposed, I did this because my connecting spacer is 2 inches long.
Slide the thick washer and the spacer on the other shaft and push them together for a good snug fit. Spot weld washer in place.
Finish your weld on the bench.
Cut 5.5 inches of pipe, stand the existing shifter up in a vertical position, and weld the pipe on to match the angle of the existing one.
Apply some grease inside the sleeve spacer, and reinstall.
While reinstalling, I took the spacers out of the bands that hold the linkages in place out to get a tighter fit. I also added grease.
