[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 5893250, member: 4112"] 5/16" is perfect. The key can be permanently fixed within the arm if required and held in position by thin walled tube of the required length either side of the arm so that its position relative to the frame remains the same.These tubes will also prevent dirt getting in. I make a new arm out of 25X50mm box with a generous 2 3/4" tube welded on the end to provide a sliding fit on the shaft. I cut a 5/16" slot along the length of the tube and weld the key into it along its back. I would advise that you cut the keyway in the shaft along the bottom to prevent build up of dirt and prevent wear on the keyway when the plough is being carried. The length of the keyway in the shaft will depend on the position of the arm but with a fixed key you will have to run the keyway through to the right hand end of the crosshaft. I hope this makes sense. If you need additional locking collars these can be obtained from bearing suppliers. [/QUOTE]
