Wanted axle shaft for 65 Tucker 442

someone might chime in but that stuff is getting to be hens teeth. Did you try Tucker used parts? It may be able to be repaired as another option.I busted my axle shaft
It’s prob a Tucker long axle. An earlier dodge axle would fit with the correct older hub and pontoon support extension.
Both getting hoarded these days. Check any used ones to see if the hub key ways are cracked. The Tucker long axles had two key ways on some. This way you could rotate.
If you get in a bind I have 4 prototype Tucker long adapters. It uses a stock dodge axle you can find and a threaded hub extension to match the Tucker specs.
Never tested but the theory is there. Thread on here somewhere by me 2012 ish if I were to guess.

Sorry guys, I didn’t see the responses! Here’s the business end of the shaft. Is this considered a “long shaft”?
Yes
500 series machines used International truck 1 ton axles, thus they do not fit 400 series,
400 series used the dodge 1/2 ton axle till the mid more or less the mid 60's, then tucker thought they should make their own axle shafts, the long ones, poor design and made on the cheap.

Yeah, not a great design. I have plans to convert to a full floater, but I won't get that done anytime soon. Hoping I can find one before the winter!
not worth the money, if you are going to change out the axle.
