Total deflection at the tip of the shaft [lower tip] =1/16". Not too
much deflection near the lower seal.

What should I do? Reassemble with new seals and say my prayers? Or,
try to straighten the crankshaft?

THanks again,
Fish.

I remember reading somewhere in this ng where somebody straighted a
LawnBoy crank themself. Could someone respond, hopefully the guy who
accomplished this feat, and tell me how to? I could buy a new
crankshaft for this thing, but at $145.00 i want to give it a try with
my tools, I mean what have I got to lose?

THanks,
