U joints

Need to know where to get a rear u joint
for a G1800 s having trouble finding one

You will have to do a model number search for the deck. Look for the silver sticker on the deck with the model and serial number.

Try Messicks, but you need to make an account to see diagrams. Should be the first option under joint.

If you can't find one, maybe try a local auto parts shop, bring the old one with you?

Yeah. If you can get it to a Napa, they will measure it for you, and match a replacement.

Which rear u-joint? There are two rear u-joints. One on the deck drive shaft and one on the shaft between the motor and transaxle. The transaxle shaft joints, I got at the dealer. Haven't had to do the deck shaft (yet) so I can't comment on that one.

If you're doing the transaxle shaft joints, look CLOSELY at both yokes. They tend to wear out where they're splined, and will cause lots of vibration. Replacing them makes it run 10x smoother!
