Hi Gene,
Yes, I know of a great place that heat treats metal. Industrial Heat Treat, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I made my own gears legs. Those folks turned 'em into spring steel. Oh, by the way, do ALL fabrication to your legs prior to sending off for heat treating. When those suckers come back it's damn near impossible to drill them. A simple 3/16" hole takes about 6 drillbits, and about two hours!!!! Guess how I know this. :-0 eecks!!!!
Here's their contact info;
Industrial Heat Treat
1-801-363-7318
I spoke with a young lady, mostly, and I'm sure she'd remember me. They charged me $65 for the Rockwell 48 treatment, and $20 for return shipment to St George, UT. I was VERY pleased with their work!
( I just gave them a quick call and she remembered me, and says rates are pretty much the same.)

Hi Gene,
Yeah, I know re: the price. Both of my gears leg cost a total of $155. Complete, lock stock and barrel!!!
Yes, my gear leg were 36" or longer.
IIRC, the leg part was 36". Then, when you weld the axle tube, it comes out a couple inches more. At any rate, the length wasn't a problem for those good folks at Industrial Heat Treat.
Best to ya, Gene,

Just a note for those who are considering a switch to the steel legs and would rather let someone else do the dirty work,I bought mine from TNK and put them on last spring. Presto-chango, a little expensive but worked slickern s**t.
They might have some more lying around. Give 'em a call.

Last heat treating I had done by these folks. One of their plants was in Anniston, AL, but close a few years ago:
http://www.braddockmt.com/plantLocations.html
They have 6 plants and one of those is in NJ.
Heat treating is normally charged by the pound, not the piece.
If they have other stuff to heat treat the same as yours, they stick it all in the oven to all at the same time.
Last time I paid 60.00 for two gear legs and a tail wheel strut. I could have had about ten times that many pieces heat treated for the same price.
Pays to shop around if you have that option. Should be a lot of metal treating plants in the NE.
