Whatever you say there big dog. I don't usually get too excited about failed parts until I open them up and see how bad it is. Been a mechanic for 20 years, but I still don't have x-ray vision. I still don't know how you think it needs a shaft but the housing is fine. The housing is completely shielded from view. I don't care how good you think you are, there is no way to know until you take it apart.
Like I said, I've been a mechanic for about 20 years, and also a farmer/equipment operator for longer than that. What I want to know is, how did a guy as smart as you say you are, completely miss the fact that his spindle was failing? Maybe you're not so good at servicing your equipment? Maybe you just don't have much experience operating equipment..... or maybe you're only half as good as you think you are. Whatever the reason, I think you've wasted enough time on this thread.
