    Hello still on the case of the replacement drive shaft. The problem is most of the sites dont recognize my Canadian serial number either.

    The part numbers that I have found so far are:

    45-39078 (used on 1969 7.5 and 4 HP)
    45-64257, replaced by 45-75034A1
    45-74851, replaced by 45-75034 (which was also used on the 9.8 HP)
    45-95873A1 (Stainless Steel upper portion, used on 4.0 and 9.8 HP)

    So I am wondering if I can use the 45-75034 without the A1? Or do you physically have to use measurements and side by side comparisons?

    Boy working with Mercury requires you to be both a mechanic and a detective.
