Hello gents! I find myself with a question for the forum before I go down the path of ripping my deck apart in the middle of the season. I have a 42 inch rear discharge 78350 that seems to have developed a crack at the center spindle (photo attached). At first I thought I had unbalanced blade issue bc the deck will vibrate something fearce. Long story short took it off got everything sharp and freshly greased. Started it up and it had the vibration again that reverberates through the deck. Now it's not as as bad as before but at the wrong angle or first starting it just vibrates loudly. So looked around and found the crack at the center spindle. Debating if a simple weld would be sufficient for this crack or it would need more extensive repair? I don't weld myself but before I bothered the guy that farms the property thought I would ask here for thoughts if someone has had this issue since I was not seeing something in the forum. Appreciate your guys help and thoughts.

My original thought was to remove and maybe sell these or hang them as shop art but the tread is in great shape and they just look cool. The printed side which someone has moved to the inside of the tires has quite a fair amount of weather cracking and a couple of soft spots. The solid non printed side appears to be in very good condition. They hold air fine. This tractor will be used like our others to pull trailers of stuff around the acreage.... Possibly as much as 400-600 pounds as a guess. We can use one of the B or C tractors for the heavier loads. I'll likely put tubes in if they aren't already there. They'll likely also be fluid filled and low air pressure for extra traction. So... What else can I do to help the tires as far as strength and structural stability? The little ones on the left
