What material to use for geared shaft
#6
Had to get my daughter to help me with the scanning thing, here's the exploded view; the shaft is item 5. The parts are in misleading positions in this diagram; the bush labeled #4 is the one that is in place at the top left of the gearbox in the above photos; it actually runs on the shaft right where the #5 arrow is pointing. The gear #2 is keyed to the shaft right under where the #4 arrow is pointing, and bush #1 runs immediately right of the flange.
   

There are 7 different diameters on the shaft, including the flange. A weldment sounds like an excellent idea for the flange, or perhaps a bush pinned in position.

Forgot to mention, the cut part of the shaft that is still in place files easily.
