So I got my mower deck and idler pulleys bearings all fixed up now. Went to put the belt back on the PTO pulley and discovered what seemed to be way to much play vertically in the shaft. So tore it down expecting to replace the bearing at the end of the shaft. Wow! The shaft itself is worn excessivelly. Anyone else run into this problem? What was your solution if you did? I am going to drop it at my local machine shop tomorrow morning and see if he thinks he can do anything with it. I will try to include a picture.
