Hi Joe. I knew little to nothing about it until Ray and his son told me what is was. I had no use for it so I sold it. It is a Lil Indian jackshaft so I don’t understand where the problem would be. I certainly hope the person I sold it to doesn’t have an issue but If they do I would gladly buy it back. I’m sure Ray and his son are interested. All this stuff is new to me so I appreciate any and all interjection.
Thanks!

Hello,
The Lil Indian mini matic 2 speed used a hardened and ground shaft for the original 1st gear to run on. And did not have a keyway across it. A std. soft jackshaft will get chewed up pretty quickly when the 1 st gear tries to lock up on the shaft. One way around that is to use a one way gear and sleeve like on the 69 Rupp. Thanks for the follow up.
Regards,
Joe
