Hi Jim,
I replaced the tapered pin with a bolt. I drilled a hole through, then
replaced the pin with a 5/16" bolt. I can't remember what Grade of bolt I
used right off hand, but it was either a Grade 5 or 7 bolt. I also replaced
the bushings at both ends of the cross shaft and doubled them up (using two
on each side instead of one), then used anti-sieze on all the wear spots for
better long lasting wear protection.
The web site that Peter mentioned might have something similar to this on it.

<< Charlie,
I had mine welded and that solved the problem. The other "weak" spot I am
dealing with now is the brass bushings on the ends of the shaft have become
worn.
Can anyone comment on how difficult a job that is to do? Do I need any
special tools?
Thanks,
