Front 60 shaft longer then 40 shaft????

Post by phil94delica »

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows if a 60 series front drive shaft is longer then the 40 series. I have a forty and need a shaft thats 2" longer and a 60 shaft would be an easy fix if its longer.

So the front and rear shafts both have to be shortened yes?? or does the front have to be longer??

Does anyone have any idea at all at how much someone would be looking at to get this done??

Rear has to be shortened and front has to be extended. I got a front 60 series shaft with double cardan and shortened that for the front of mine.
