Made a little mod to the mower today that reduced the shake a bunch. I added some counter weight to the left side. Just happened to have some leftover lead weights from my old race car and some box tube. So I built an arm that sticks out on the left and bolted the weights to it. This took most of the twist out of the tractor and I think the increased mass dampens most of the shake. Thought it was going to rip the tractor apart it shook so bad.
