it looks like someone kept riding it as there rear bearings slowly siezed and wore the axil cus i have never seen a tecate axil like that...how would you get the bearings on i am pretty sure someone ran it with siezed bearings and it just wore the hell outta the axil ;)

It could have been ran everyday straight since 1986 and never wear the axle down that much. If it was that loose in the bearings you could never keep a chain on it. Anyway It still appears to have correct bearing surface just inside of each spline. It's definitely not stock that way. My guess is someone turned it down in the middle for weight savings. Or it's some kind of aftermarket axle relieved for weight savings.

Post a pic of the half the axle so I can see an end of it.

I guess it could have been 3 hungry fat chicks gnawin' on it! :D
