    Check the splines at the bottom end of the shaft. Some have a groove around the area, some do not. It all has to do with how the shaft’s weight is supported. Early models had a strap across under the pinion gear to support the shaft. Later ones do not use the strap, but the pinion gear is different and the gear supports the shaft.
