Great! Where are you located? I will start to put it together sometime this week. Do you use the tractor to farm with? I am trying to find a better source for the two bearings. Also the shaft will most likely be scored in the bearing area. We used to just punch them. It is a current NLA part unless you find some old diesel shop that has one left. Also there are right handle and left hand shafts. Send me the information to: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:aschwieb@bright.net">aschwieb@bright.net</a><!-- e -->. Send me a phone number too. Is that your only Cockshutt? Did you go to the national show? Do you like the quarterly? John
