[QUOTE=hydromike;1068] the 1" puppies are still adequate if I behave myself. [QUOTE]
....and when did this behavior begin, Mike?
I've broken some axles, some from "stupid sticking", some because I used old axles, and some because I was using cold rolled (bend axle, straighten axle, repeat, repeat, axle breaks). I'll be using 4140 from now on, thanks to the information I got from the people on this board.
Whipper- Except for the cold rolled steel axles, they almost always break at the sprocket bolt in my experience. I've been using 3/8" grade eight bolts, and they still do shear, but it's usually a cleaner break and thus an easier fix than softer stuff.
As long as you're changing the drive train on your fire-breathing four-stroke Attex, are the old axle sets up for sale?

Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.
