Re: converting 59 rude short shaft to long?
You need a longer drive shaft, midsection extension, shift shaft extension, and two water tube extensions. I still have the driveshaft from when I converted to the short shaft, but no longer have the other stuff.
You will want to find a doner motor. The drive shaft simply pulls out of the gearcase, and the other stuff either slips off or has a bolt or two.
This is based upon the fact that your motor is a 15" model. They made a 20" model, but no 25" model
