I was recently looking at pics with different main shafts for comparesion, 231J, 231D, 241D and the JB 231 HD. What I am wondering is, since the real only difference between the 242 and 231 main shaft is where the shaft goes into reduction part, on the 242 it has a smooth bearing area where a splined collar goes over it and the 231 just has the splines directly on the main shaft.
So, could you take a HD 231 main shaft and machine it down to the 242 measurements, then re-treat it, for hardness. Granted you would have to modify the output housing, but thats just bearings and seals right? or hell, I could probably design one and get it CNC'd here locally. I know a few people. The main shaft is the biggest hurdle, so could it be done?
