PTO From Front of Crankshaft

Hi Ken,
Glad you got it running again. Just keep an eye on it.
Any time a good amount of heat is applied to tempered steel such as brazing there is a risk of loosing temper. One good thing you have going for you is the three cylinder engine is more forgiving than a one or two cylinder engine.

I was able to use the origional flex shaft. Not sure how long it will last as it too is tired. The troube I ran into was the output shaft of the crank. It is 18 slpine X 24mm (if I remember correctly), I couldn't find a new coupler to match. Also the shaft has worn to a taper over the years, thus te set screws.
