So? is it fixed. I stand by my post #3 . I was in a hurry and the posters behind me correctly stated that its the post the forked shaft is on that is bent. I will drink a beer to celebrate, or to admit I was wrong at 5 pm today:thumbsup: I would just like to know which I am drinking too:licking:

Post # 45 had a picture of a tailwheel just exactly like this one SHOULD be if if wasnt bent and modified with the larger shaft to fit the mower. A 10 minute fix with the correct material. Cut the old BENT up shaft off the tailwheel yoke, grind smooth, put on a new vertical shaft with the proper diameter to fit tightly in the bushing part and proper slant and fillet weld to the yoke. DONE DEAL. I could have fixed it and had it painted by time the 5th post was made on here.

:laughing::laughing::laughing: I've never had a 10-minute job take less than 2 hours - especially if it involves welding/cutting/grinding.

Yep...and with me, normally two trips to the local Ace Hardware.

I wonder how the OP made out?

I wonder how the OP made out?

When the wheel got stuck, he never moved another inch. He's still there. Shouldn't have backed up.
