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.

5 speed gear box is 90mm longer
i tried a 60 front tail shaft when i converted to a 5 speed but it was to long by about 75mm i ended up getting a spare rear tail shaft cut down to suit

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.

OR get the shafts from the factory 5 speed model.
They exist, but are rare as!
