Why choose the McFarlane Cessna Rudder Pedal Shaft?
The rudder pedal shaft is a small part doing a big job: the pivot point that ties your rudder input and pilot-side braking together, seeing cyclic loading every time you tap a pedal. Worn pin holes, elongated bores, or a fatigued shaft translate directly into sloppy rudder feel and inconsistent braking, exactly when you don't want either. The McFarlane PMA shaft is manufactured to match the OEM part's dimensions and material spec, then heat treated to a higher strength range than the original Cessna part. The result is a direct, drop-in fit with no special tools or rigging changes.
Some shops may prefer to use salvage parts. A used shaft comes with unknown load history, no traceability, and the real possibility of hidden corrosion or fatigue cracking under the plating on a shaft that may already have years of pedal cycles run through. For a structural part tied to both rudder control and braking, a new PMA-approved shaft with documented material traceability is the straightforward choice.

FAQs
Can I install MC1460501-21 myself, or does it require a specific procedure?
Installation follows the same procedure as the OEM part, no special tools, rigging, or additional maintenance instructions are required.
Why should I buy new instead of a used pedal shaft?
A salvaged shaft carries unknown load history, no material traceability, and the risk of hidden corrosion or fatigue damage under the plating. A new PMA shaft gives you documented material and process verification at a comparable price point
How do I know if my rudder pedal shaft needs replacing?
Common symptoms include excessive pedal free play, pedal misalignment, abnormal pedal feel, or uneven braking on one side. A worn shaft or worn cotter pin holes are common findings during annual inspection. Refer to your maintenance manual for more information
What aircraft is the Cessna rudder pedal shaft P/N MC1460501-21 eligible for?
It's eligible for a wide range of Cessna single and twin models, including the 150, 172, 177, 180, 182, 185, 188, 206, 207, 210, and 337 series. See the full eligibility list on the product page for your specific model
Does AD 68-07-07 apply to this pedal shaft?
AD 68-07-07 addresses the weld between the rudder pedal stub tube and the pedal shaft on certain Cessna 188 series aircraft, not the shaft itself, so installing MC1460501-21 does not create any new AD compliance requirements. However, before installing a new pedal shaft, it's worth confirming that the existing rudder pedal assembly on your aircraft already meets AD 68-07-07, specifically that the stub tube weldment has been inspected and reinforced per Cessna Service Letter 67-47 if required. If the pedal assembly itself is worn or due for replacement, McFarlane offers a PMA replacement rudder pedal (P/N AP2000-01) for a broad range of Cessna models.
What cotter pin is used with MC1460501-21?
MS24665-285, installed through the cross hole at each end of the shaft
Is MC1460501-21 a direct replacement for OEM P/N 1460501-21?
Yes. It's manufactured to match the OEM part's dimensions, material, and finish, and installs without modification to the existing rudder pedal assembly.
What is the McFarlane Cessna rudder pedal shaft, P/N MC1460501-21?
It's an FAA-PMA approved direct replacement for the OEM Cessna rudder pedal shaft, P/N 1460501-21. It's the pivot shaft inside the rudder pedal assembly that allows pedal rotation and connects to the rudder torque tube and, on the pilot's side, the brake master cylinder.
