Well guys the trouble is that the input shaft of Farmall "H" transmission is not meant to have a load suspended on the shaft without a pilot bearing supporting that load. I have used transmissions in applications where I drove the input shaft with a drive shaft. I installed a pillow block bearing on the input shaft just leaving enough room for a yoke to fit. This way your back to a two point support on that input shaft like it was designed.
IF you look at when he "fitted" his finished part on the input shaft you gout see how much movement he had just with that yoke load on it. Now add in the fact that the Farmall "H" stock engine was governed at 1650 RPM IRC. So now you put a small block Chevy motor that can easily hit 4000 RPM spinning a drive shaft that is riding on an unsupported input shaft. You have the makings of a very dangerous accident. No Actually it is not an accident if you do something like this when people tell you the problem with your "design" before you have trouble.
This is not some one criticizing his get up and go or willingness to build things. Lanse appears to be doing well for his age and where he started. I just do not want to read about him or his friends getting seriously hurt or killed from this dangerous design!!!!!
