Is there an area on here where you can find used garden tractor parts. Looking for a drive shaft for a John Deere 317..
 
It's really TOUGH to find a truly GOOD used driveshaft for a 317, as the U-joints are small and non-relubeable and made to be non-serviceable.

Some time ago I saw a source on the 'net for cross "block" and pin kits for them, don't have it saved, tho.

The shafts are still available from DEERE for about $300, and on Amazon for $289, and there's often some used ones on ebay, but I don't find any used ones there this morning.

I have thought about modifying a 316 or 318 driveshaft, as they have greasable and replaceable joints, but I'm not sure there's room for the joints to clear frame parts as they are a larger series of joints.
 
Kind of what I thought.. I saw a used one on ebay last week but did not know I needed it till Sat.. LOL

Anyway I see em on ebay for $289 free shipping so I will grab one of those..

Thanks for the reply...

open. Will sell for $180.
