I just found this thread.....wish I had earlier. I have a rockshaft set up for an electric lift in my 123 with a hydraulic lift on it. I did not have to cut mine at all, I just used 1 1/2" spacers instead of the 3/4" ones, which tightened up my pulley belt (which I believe may have been the incorrect belt) and works just fine. I do not like to cut into original parts, unless it is absolutely necessary, so I was able to work something out to solve the problem.
Well, its a moot point because you have yours installed and operational now. Your tractor looks very nice and your installation looks well done!!
