Unfortunately I didn't know about undersized disks until yesterday after reading your post. I had already ordered a new disk that was delivered this morning. So I'll take some measurements from both the shaft and new disk to see how far the crank has worn. If the new disk isn't tight I'll give Dengler a call with my measurement and price yet another disk.... Day late and a dollar short.... I'll also take one of the disks to the machine shop and have him look at it and see what he thinks. I thought it sounded too good to be true, which is why I asked. I know he planned on building up the inside of the disk and cutting new splines. He knew the crank was tapered from resplining them in the past so I assume he knows the gear is tapered, but we'll cover that when I have him look at a gear. I'm not a machinist but I think he would have to fill it in completely, drill the center whole, cut straight splines, and then taper the splines. But after reading your post I don't know if I want him working on my new gear, but I don't think the old gear is any good. It looks like it was heated up too much at some point being removed because it is really soft. I also looked up Dengler on the internet and found their page on expresspages.com. I hopped on mapquest.com with their address to see if they are located near some friends of the family and it couldn't find the address in the city listed, not even the street name. Then I went to questdex.com and it couldn't find any phone listing for Dengler. You ever have those days when nothing is going right????? But I'll give them a call from the number listed on their web page to see where they are located in Ohio. Maybe my luck will improve by this weekend and the new gear will fit tight. I'm not holding my breath.... Thanks for all of the help and insite. It's great having knowledgible people to bounce ideas off of and keep me out of trouble. thanks,
