[Shop-talk] Mower PTO shaft

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, here is another one I can't figure out.

I have a 1978 Excel/Hustler 275 zero turn mower. It still runs great and works great.

Problem is that the PTO shaft needs to be 'balanced' as it vibrates the mower deck a ton.

This is a shaft 'within a shaft' design (like a standard tractor PTO shaft, only smaller.)

Does anyone know how to balance a shaft like that?

Thanks.

Eric
