right
ive got a farm mower a lely splendimo 240 lc
the main drive shaft through the bed is fooked,its 14mm hexagon bar but where it drives the cutting units its gone round on 1 of the contact points
dealer wants 310 of my hard earned for a new shaft
thats a bit too hard to swallow when i've found 14mm bar(albeit mild steel) for 16 quid/3meter
i presume its not too an exotic grade but more than mild steel would cope with
i've also seen stainless steel hex bar,but no prices
what grade steel would i need for a replacement???
