tried the 630 gasser out for feed grinder duty ,, p-owner had a stub shaft extension on the pto ,,the feed grinder pto had adequate travel , all went well till I was putting the toys away and made a rite turn around the pole in the barn drive ,,I thiknk that is when it happened a nyway,,..the old artsway feed grinder shaft is about 10 inces from center to left,, perfect storm for disaster ...wonder if I should replace the shaft orcan I straighten it ,, ??

Is it a square shaft? I don't think you will ever get it perfectly straight. How fast does it have to turn? If you know someone with a shop press, you might get it close to straight.
