my chore this afternoon is to find a part for a 30 year old Yazoo big wheel commercial mower that I've been piecing together for the last 20.. I used my last spare part of a parts mower last iime.. It's the jack shaft assembly that drives the wheels and I need that part !!!

no Ross... sadly no lathe or the knowledge to use one... could have learned 30 years ago and didn't have time...
Actually I need the housing for the jackshaft.. the shaft is in pretty good shape. on a 30 year old Yazoo big wheel mower
I"m sitting here studying this one and wonder if I couldn't fab something up using steel pipe bored to fit bearing o.d. and plate to make the saddle and base...... this might be my best option cause the parts are impossible to find unless you find someone with an old deck behind the barn... that's where I'm looking now

How about a couple HD pipe clamps around the housing? Drill the housing, run the clamp through the holes. Clearance may be an issue. What is that, aluminum or pot metal?
BTW, beautiful stand and workmanship.

That would be relatively easy to replicate using a pillow block bearing, if the shaft is a standard size. Orientation is 90-degrees to the typical pillow block, tho.

Doesn't look too difficult to fab one up. Have a machinist turn a piece of pipe or bar stock. Make the bearings a slip fit with set screws to lock in rather than a press fit in case there is any distortion from the welding.
