I need to replace a section of drive line in my IH 863 corn head. Looking at sources but there are, of course, different types of steel. This shaft goes under the corn head between the row gear boxes. There are slip clutches built into each gear box which should protect the shaft somewhat BUT, it is a corn head and stresses are great. Shaft is 13.5" long, about 1 1/8 diameter. At some point before I owned it this particular shaft had spun in its end sleeve, rounding off all the points. Guess a clutch must have failed or ????. The PO decided to weld it to the end sleeve instead of replacing. Weld failed end of season last year which is when I first saw the problem. That is the background.
Different kinds of steel. Low carbon, a couple different high carbon, alloyed steel...wondering what is the best steel for the application. Not an easy or fun place to replace parts and would prefer to do it just one time.

Dad spent several years during the war testing aircraft engines at Allison Engineering in Indianapolis working seven days a week on a twelve hour night sh
