I have a business neighbor that has asked us to help him repair a pinion shaft off of a late '80s vintage John Deere 310C Backhoe Loader. The part number in question is AT114686.
We need to recreate one of the splined portions on the shaft. I am guessing we will have to anneal it back a bit after welding in order to re-machine the splines because it is going to require about .125" build up per side. But my guess is that the beveled spiral gear on the end of the shaft needs to be @60Rc so we will have to re-heat treat to get the appropriate hardness back.
I am hoping someone here has knowledge of what material was used for that shaft or would be able to give me a contact for how to find that info.
Recommendation for welding would be appreciated too.
Thanks - Joe
