1962 Stearing box spline

[Newchapters]

Hey everyone I am in the process of trying to get a universal steering joint for my new flaming river tilt wheel. The info I found was the input shaft is 3/4 36 spline. So I ordered a 3/4-36 Spline To 1" DD. The 1 DD works to the Flaming river shaft but the 3/4 spline side will not go on to the shaft. I counted the spins and count 36. Am I missing something. Any info would be appreciated on what size of universal steering joint I would need to fit the steering shaft input. Thanks

Isn't there a tiny key in the spline, a place where the splines are uneven?

There is a hole for the cotter pin to go in but it doesn’t have the missing splines like the out our shaft

So just got of phone with Lares and they said its a 3/4 inch 31 spline input shaft. Bogeson who makes great u joints said they don't make a 31 spline and don't know anyone who does make one that would have be a 31 spline and 1inch DD on the other. Any ideas on what to do or where to look for this. thanks for all your help. I recounted the splines and yes it 31 .

Couldn't you fust weld a piece of 1" DD steering shaft to the back of the steering box side of the factory rag joint then use a DD to DD universal joint?

I found out there are adapters out there, so I am rebuilding my original rag joint adapter that connects to the input shaft and attaching it to the rebuilt rag join. That will be connected to a 1 inch DD that will connect to the tilt steering wheel shaft. That should work

I wish I had tools to weld or make my restoration easier but I am doing the old fashion way with a jack, jack stands and basic tool. Taking years to accomplish. Next time I will buy already restored. thanks for everyone help.
