[SEL] Fork lift parts

[jbcast at charter.net]

Would it be possible to weld it? They weld axles for race cars. I
would bevel 

	both ends and weld it together, I have a lathe I would put it in to
be sure it was true. If you happen to find a longer axle cut a hole in
the flange, slide it through, weld the axle to it. We used to race in
the 60s, 55 Chevy with a Pontiac rear end. We would paint a stripe on
the axle, change it when it twisted 180 degrees.

 Hi all.
 I broke the axle on my Hyster RT 150 fork lift. To keep this on
topic, I
 use it when working on my old engines and tractors. This was made in
the
 50's and is powered by an IH Greendiamond 233 engine. I was trying to
 push the forks under a three cylinder Hicks marine engine setting on
 dirt. Dumped the clutch and bang, the drive shaft turned but I didn't
 move. The axle has: 9459 A34 58662 H and a circle with IH stamped
also.
 It is 37" long, with 16 splines that are 2.580" long and 1.815" in
 diameter. The rest of the axle is 1.590" in diameter. The flange is
 6.250" in diameter and .3875 thick, with 6 holes for the securing
studs
 to go through. The holes are .500" and it has two 1/2 x13 threaded
holes
 for jack bolts and weighs 22.5 lbs.
 I have found one for $375 plus about 10% tax, I thought this was a
little
 much as I am cheap. Does anyone on the list have one in their bone
pile
 or know where I could find one at a better price. I was told shipping
on
 something like this should be $35 to $40.
 Thanks.
