I found someone at Cal Poly willing to help me with annealing and rehardening 901 internals so I can machine them. He said it would be helpful to know what alloy the steel is. He also asked if they were case hardened.

I'm missing something here. Can you cut off second gear without destroying it? I'm assuming you want to end up with a 904 mainshaft. You want two second gears in the same transmission, for racing purposes, correct? Anyway if the shaft and gear is heat hardened (or case hardened), you need to get a Rockwell hardness before annealing it so you can come back to it, so it will match the gear it meshes with. I don't know if they case harden gears. If yes, the metal should be soft a few thousandths under the skin.
I know they aren't cheap, but Ottos sells new 904 mainshafts, and you might be ahead of the game buying one. |
