Post vibration in handle
I just bought a used mudbuddy SD and noticed when I was running it I felt a vibration in the handle as I was running is this normal or is this the first sign the bearings are going out?

Could be prop out of balance. Is this your first mud motor? There is always some vibration, how bad are we talking?

You mean the prop nut, or the seal cap?
