Post cracked tail shady on mud buddy black death 5500
I've cracked my tail shady on my motor twice in two years in the same spot.. i cracked it the first time with the stock 27 inch shaft right behind were it necks down into the small tube about 6 inches from the start of the shaft were the gear rides. I ordered the 32 inch shaft with a lower gear don't really remember the count but this one broke in the same spot except worse. Is this a common thing or do you think I've got something out of whack? Is there anyway to fix this instead of buying a whole new thing again? It's cracked all the way around the tube. Thanks in advance
