Understood and thanks for looking. I did think how on earth is that made …..
I will not stop my search and will report when I find if it can be done and costs but I am sure it is a mad price at a machine shop and only possible with a mate who is bored and has a lathe type of job.
thanks J

Right I have some details for you to chew on and see if this is possible.
An issue is that on one end it is spline. Other than that it is just a bar with a groove down middle (2 of at 180deg) -

Right let me dress in rags and get the old transaxle apart. Stats to follow…
be great to at least know it is possible on paper.

I of course think if you can ….. you must try ………
It might be a project ?
It seems to be a 8″ long bar ? and cogs slipped onto it.
I am yet to look further at it as i got another.I did put a post on here for my old transaxle but i cant find it.
I attach some pics and have the old transaxle still.
I can send details if you request.

Thanks… I shouldn’t have been so hasty ordering as I have this one from amazon. hate using amazon as it didnt truly say where it was coming from and full price when searched. prefer ebay. damn.
But whatever my oldish 10/30 now needs a mechanics care
to keep it going. Not as old as some on here I’m sure but hell is it a ideal mower for a medium…[Read more] -

Checked thread and ordered
a oregon oil drain valve.I am ok on metric threads but the older ones … I am clueless.
I measured drain bolt as m18*1.5 (roughly as I couldn’t take it fully out)
imperial (or whatever it’s called) it looked like 3/8″
so I ordered

Superb idea. I never new such things as oil drain valves were even available.
I do have a good engine oil pump that sucks it out but my old mower deserves a good clean out…..
I’ll check the size and thread today. I dont suppose you can recommend a good oil drain valve ? … must be

I have a hayter 10/30 ride on. A superb single blade gear shift ride on.
The issue is when it comes to oil changes the drain plug is so inaccessible I have never managed to not cover the LHS in oil draining it.
I have tried a machine that sucks it out from the filler but it I am sure never gets all the oil out.
Has anyone solved how to drain…[Read more]

Update:
I had a quote just to update.
6-800£ for a one off.Madly expensive but it is possible.
I am sure this simple shaft can be made cheaper
so will continue search.

Such a shame as I used to live next door
to a retired engineer with basically a machine
shop in his garage. He could have and gladly
would have done made another drive shaft !
Sadly he has gone to the machine shop in the skies.
