Broke my second Dutchman rear axle shaft yesterday doing a little truck pulling. I think that they are weaker than the stock shafts that i have now. well im not going to fix it im going to upgrade it with the 14 bolt next week sometime i think. but anyway i need some people to e-mail me. John B, Lawn Cher, and Rockreadyxj.

John the shaft keeps breaking at the same spot right twards the end of the splines. I didnt split the case yet because i really dont care right now, but yea that 44 is in great need. I pulled my buddys truck out yesterday so all i have to do is jack it up and torch out some u-bolts. And he has a set of 8 lug rims that he said that i could use till i buy some new ones. But anyway are you going this weekend to the yard?
