Hi all
i have been restoring my 3545 and ive been trying to sort out my propshaft. but im not having any luck so i took it to a man i know who does a bit off engineering. he ran his expert eye over the propshaft. and he said where the prop goes into the end piece where all the splines are. well these are badly worn and not long before they would start slipping just what i wanted to hear we have come to the conclusion to fit a landrover defender 110 propshaft and make up end plates to fit the zetor end pieces things are gettin better. plus the shaft is of better quality. more heavy duty

what do you think???
 
I have made up 1 end plate which looks good and it runs square need to make the other side up lengthen the shaft and im sorted
 
Ok then i ditched the end plates and welded up the existing holes and drilled out ones to suit the zetor end pieces the prop shaft has been fitted an we turn the front wheel as fast as we can and it runs quite square. a good job well done
