Alright! Seven year old post revival! Im ready to do this shaft conversion. I've located a couple prospects for cv style replacements from an 1864. Would I be better off purchasing the new components from a supplier or would used be fine as far as wear and tear? I'm not too affraid to spend money on new parts. Partstree has the couplings available but not the shaft itself. Still cheaper than buying a new mower right now and my mowing size and time is now way way bigger and longer than it was back in 2015 at the time of my original post on this subject. The vibration wasn't terrible to deal with for 45 minutes or so, but now I'm mowing for about 3-4 hours straight. Eventually I plan on getting something new but waiting to get my Kubota compact paid down a bit first. Plus, I'm sending a kid to college this year and have no idea what expenses are involved in all that yet. Anyways, any input is always appreciated. Its way beyond time to get this machine running smoother! Thanks!
