Will, If it comes to needing to replace torque tube, I have a bunch of them.
Also, if you replace the bearing and race at front of torque tube, make sure the race is a quality part, made using the correct material. Some of the new replacement split races are made of incorrect (too soft) material, that is nothing like the original hardened split outer sleeve bearing that has a dimple that locks into the front mounting diameter of torque tube. Also, if you can't find this bearing and outer race as new parts, I also have a bunch of these in good used condition.
