Hello All
I have been looking for a disk axle for a taylor Disk
The axle is square 1 1/8 and 22 inches long.

I looked around and cant seem to find one.

Any ideas ??

Try ASC. I broke one on a JD disk last year and the had all of the parts for it at about half of Mother Deere's prices......
 
i got one from shoups a few years back, ordered new nut and washer with it instead of reuesing the old ones. had no problems with it.
 
Ifyou check both Shoup and ASC you will fine ASC prices about half of Shoup, Shoup is more like Deere in price.
 
There's a reason for that, Leroy. ASC's steel is poorer quality. Bent one of them not long after I put it on in our rocky ground. Shoup axles have not done that to me.
 
Robert, Most any, good Local Machine Shop should be able to make on from 1&1/8 Square stock for you.

Most people don't realize how tight the disc shaft should be. When they think "that is tight enough", they have just begun to get it tightened.

I used the hammer test as I tightened; if the disc would not "ring" when hit with a hammer, it wasn't tight enough. Keep tightening until the discs will "ring" when you hit them. Otherwise the shaft is likely to bend when used.
 
I should add that after I removed the bent axle, it appeared as though the steel stretched behind the nut which put slack back in the gang, allowing it to bend. This indicates to me this particular axle had insufficient tensile strength to take that much torque. It could have been that this was a bad batch of axles ASC got, and not all of them are like that. I still buy stuff from ASC but have not bought any more axles from them.
 
Shoup's pricing is nothing like Deere. If you actually compared pricing you would know that. Shoup custom builds high quality gang bolts in addition to stocking popular configurations and ASC does not custom build.
