76 Johnson upper drive shaft

[12]

The 2 pieces of the shaft spin . How are they held together?

It broke...replace it

And what motor do we have here ?----Model # required.

 

[12]

Model # 85ETLR76G 1967 85HP johnson v4.

Unless the motor has a newer replacement lower unit the shaft is broken.-----In 76 it was assembled by installing a stainless shaft into hardened shaft bottom piece.

Ok thank you. Will shaft out of 1972 (same motor type ) work?

 

[racerone]

The 72 was electric shift and had a different spline at the top of the shaft.----That is a definite NO IT WILL NOT FIT.

Ok thanks again.
