When you’re fabricating custom implement drives, building custom equipment, or need quality raw material for machining projects around the farm, having solid steel shaft stock on hand saves you a trip to town right when you need it most. This 1-inch square steel shaft gives you six feet of material to work with, whether you’re building a custom PTO extension, fabricating drive components, or creating your own solutions for equipment that nobody makes parts for anymore.
What You’re Getting
- High-quality 1045 cold drawn steel that machines clean and holds tight tolerances
- Full 6-foot length gives you plenty of material for most projects
- Solid construction – no hollow tubing that can fail under load
- Precise square dimensions for consistent fit in bushings and bearings
- Ready to machine, weld, or use as-is for your custom applications
Built for Real Farm Work
This solid steel shaft is perfect for building custom drives on implements like augers, conveyors, and mixing equipment. The 1-inch square size fits common bushings and bearings, making it ideal for replacing worn drive shafts or building new ones from scratch. Whether you’re working on older equipment that’s hard to find parts for or creating something completely custom, this shaft gives you the raw material to get the job done right.
Made to Last
Cold drawn 1045 steel is the go-to material for drive shafts because it’s tough enough to handle power transmission but still machines easily when you need to cut keyways, drill holes, or turn down sections. The precision cold drawing process gives you straight, dimensionally accurate material that won’t wobble or bind in your applications.
Good to Know
This shaft cuts easily with a chop saw or bandsaw and machines well on a lathe or mill. If you’re welding to it, preheat helps prevent cracking. The 6-foot length ships UPS, so no freight charges. Keep some on hand – you’ll be surprised how often you reach for quality shaft stock when you’re solving problems or building custom solutions around the farm.
