Custom Go-Devil.

Postby SethChester » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:42 pm

Alright, I have a problem! I have a 20hp Kohler, I want to make it a go-devil. I don't want any cheap kits you can buy online. Then on the other hand I am not paying 2-3k on just a kit. So I'm going to build one with my papa and could I buy the grease fitting some where for the shaft? Any pictures or ideas on a build would be helpful to!

- Thankyou.

Look up McMaster Carr for bearings, bushings or anything else like it.

Cold roll steel shaft can be ordered online or have a local shop source it

Thankyou, but I need the piece that slides over the engine shaft, and connects to the shaft.
Ex. Look at the sps mud motor kit.

The yoke and U joint? Auto stores or amazon. Just search for the size shaft yoke you need

They are called zerk fittings, can be had just about anywhere.

That's not really what I'm talking about, look at SPS mud motor kits, the silver piece that connects to the drive shaft is what I need. Known as a coupler assembly?

You can buy instructions online for roughly $30 that gives you a parts list and where to get the parts. That'd answer your questions better then we could I bet
