I know you want to steer me in the right direction and i do appreciate that.
The shaft is solid, mounted vertical, a 2 bearing affair with the drive sprocket above top bearing.
It drives a 5 row chain with a master link inserted FROM the BOTTOM so as to keep a eye on the clip be fore use..LOL....the chain i think weighs 20 some odd pounds bathed in oil...above the exhaust
Needless to say......the shaft breaks right there above the loaded bearing .
Right about then you know if you passed autorotation class or not...and even of you do...hope there was a pretty good place to put it dwn.
