    Torque tube cleaning & shaft coupling

    I have never done anything like this before, so it might not be the correct way, I just used what I had in garage, it works! Torque tube cleaned up and salvaged the drive shaft, it was a good day! Cutting the coupling was a real job, took several wheels, that thing is tough!
