Hello list, this post is in response to the couple of recent posts regarding
syncro-vibrations.
A non-list syncro owner friend (a German engineer type) just replaced his
u-joint with a "Weasler 200-8370". He was able to get this from a local
tractor supply store for around thirty dollars. This is a German tractor
u-joint. This was cross referenced from the Bandioli-Pavesi series 3 part
number (41203?). The Neapco part # listed in the archives is not quite right
and there have been some people using shims to get this part to work. He
"just pounded it in with a hammer" and it is running perfect and true once
again. According to my friend, the drive shaft is already a balanced unit,
and should not have to be balanced again with the right u-joint.
I hope this helps.
