Thanks Sam
Very good advice. As a matter of fact I did just straiten the forks like you suggested. Really tightened up the shift patten also. I think I'm going to drop a small tack on the outside of the 4 prongs and call it day. The reason I'm chickening out is first I want to see if it works and 2nd I'm planning on splitting the tractor after snow season and before lawn season to give it all good sand blasting and paint. Remember this whole mess started because the bearing let lose when I was in a snowbank so trying to forcing it into any gear I could with no clutch and some sort of torque built up in axles the flex in the forks had to be the weakest link. That's what I'm thinking.
