FB,
You commented on my post about my 41' H "wavy plate's" installation photos on Thursday the 23rd.
"The wavy plate is in backwards. I did the same thing, except my drive shaft bounced around so much it destroyed a few things. You have carefully installed it backwards, it just needs to be removed out and turned around and reinserted, so it has as much gap in there as possible. What is happening is the drive shaft is being held back and the forward end of the drive shaft is not going into the pilot bearing. The forward end of the drive shaft is bouncing around free. Everything is bouncing free, around as it rotates. Don't feel bad, I did it, the Case-IH dealer couldn't figure it out, none of the service guys could see it, the oldest guy at the dealers took one look, said the plate is in backwards. Good luck. I think is called a joint ring. Odd name."
I really appreciate your input. I think I see what you're talking about but can't I just rotate it around 90 degrees after I remove the tapered bolts, nuts, washers and retainers and then reassemble the shaft? I am no mechanic to say the least. Thanks again.
