Mixed and matched two broken driveshafts to make a good one.
The double cardan section on the recent broken driveshaft had pieces broke off where the clips went in. So they won't be able to hold the u-joints in anymore. So I went ahead and took out the joints & put it on the other end of the yoke which I pulled off the driveshaft slip.
The original one that broke last year had the axle side yoke snap off. I took that yoke outta the slip & put the other one back on.
The yoke on the sye was merely loose, & the bearing was tight so I simply cranked the nut back on to 125 lbs.

So far so good.
It's just a temporary fix. I gotta find another shaft or buy a new one. I dunno yet.
