First check for a bent blade. If you replace the blade & it still
shakes/wobbles you bent the crank.

Thanks for that advice. I don't see a wobble in the blade but I did order a
new blade and I'll report back whether or not the crankshaft is bent.

I'll measure the distance from the blade to the ground in the East-West
position and then in the North-South position.

If it's off, I'll buy a new crankshaft and put it in if I can. That would
be a whole new set of pictures!
