The output shaft broke on my MX6. Does anyone know if there is place anywhere that salvages mower parts or gearboxes? My research has revealed that any other brand of mower would accept a generic gearbox for around $350-$400, but being a John Deere with a double hull I cannot use the generic gearbox because the output shaft is too short. The shaft alone is $450 from John Deere. The gearbox looks to the the same as those used on the batwing mowers as well. I have been mowing brush with a 6300 so I think I am overworking the mower a little. If I could get a heavier gearbox off a bigger mower I would do it. Thanks in advance for any help.
