[Alberg30] RE:Long Shaft

[Rick Leach]

One fortunate aspect of reducing your shaft length by trimming the coupling end is that the portion of the shaft worn by the packing will be moved forward.  This will put a "fresh" part of the shaft in the stuffing box, perhaps eliminating the need to replace it.  Good luck!
