JonyNitro 2 #1 Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know if there is an alternative for a replacement shaft (Toro 103526 SHAFT) other than the one listed on parts tree for $237? My shaft ball bearing closest to the belt failed again and i did not catch it in time and wore out some of the shaft. Now when i replaced the bearing there is noticeable play and when tightening the screws it throws it of balance which is causing vibrations. Not trying to break the bank if i don't have too considering i paid $300 for the entire unit. I apologize in advance if this has already been answered, any help is greatly appreciated.

wallfish 16,987 #2 Posted February 21, 2022 Just use keyed shaft. It's either 3/4 (older) or 7/8, so measure it if you're not sure. Here's one place to find it but a web search may find it cheaper https://www.surpluscenter.com/Power-Transmission/Shafting/Keyed-Shafting/?page_no=1&fq=ATR_PowerTransOutsideDiameter:3/4\" 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought to use that as an alternative, I'm assuming just cut to size ( in my case its 3/4" x about 25 1/5) and then use key stock for the pulley and sprocket?

Both are on my wish list. I went ahead and ordered some keyed shaft as Wallfish mentioned so hopefully will be good to go in a week when it gets here. Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate all the good information in the redsquare as always. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
