Got a problem; not great, but it is just driving me crazy 'cause it just isn't "right".
A little slop between the pitman arm and it's gearbox shaft. Would probably outlast me the way it is, but it just bothers me.
The shaft is roughly 1 1/8" in diameter, splined and TAPERED. Splines are not quite as big as a 540 PTO shaft and roughly 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" long.
Anyhoo, over the years, this thing has been allowed to get loose and wobble the cinch fit out a bit. Not "real" bad, but enough that I just don't wanna trust it.
I can't just "washer it up" on the taper, because then the pitman arm would be too close to the gearbox and would hit the cover bolts.
How in the heck can I tighten that taper-fit up? Maybe "shim" it with a wrap of tin foil in and around the shaft splines?

The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
