More Merc driveshaft repairs! Here’s three late 60’s Merc 200 driveshafts and non of them were usable so I ended up making one out of two. The one which was good in the water pump area had bad splines on top and one of the ones with rust in that area had good splines. The third shaft was worn out top and bottom. After cutting off the good lower section, it and the good upper got turned for a good fit before welding them together in the lathe. Since the welded joint is above the water pump, the finish didn’t have to be too critical.
