Prior to removal of any propeller shaft: – Mark the installed position of shafts to flanges! When installing new propeller shafts observe the following: – Slip joints must be assembled arrow to arrow or arrow to grease nipple – Rotate the shaft while tightening evenly to prevent binding of joints. 8. Propeller Shaft.
These shafts transmit power between the source and the machines absorbing power. The counter shafts, line shafts, over head shafts and all factory shafts are transmission shafts. Since these shafts carry machine parts such as pulleys, gears etc., therefore they are subjected to bending in addition to twisting. 2. Machine shafts.

the propeller, pressure developed by the propeller, stresses, deformations and strains developed within the propeller when subjected to a thrust. The modifications made to the propeller in terms of material, number of blades and rake angles suggested which variant of the propeller is best suited for different requirements of the Ship.
axle shafts which have integral universal joints that revolve within and are supported by the steering knuck les. All front axles use open end design steering knuck les. The knuckles are not enclosed. CJ models use the model 30 front axle. Wagoneer, Cherokee, and Truck models use the model 44 front axle. Refer to the Axle Application Chart at .
