Longer is not Better!

I knew the Devil would be in the details!

I ran into the same hitch as some previous attempts I read about, with the same kit from this outfit...

When I tried to slide on the coupler to the transaxle, it's 1/2" too long! (Or the adapter plate is 1/2" too short).
The other blogger solved this by having a spacer plate machined ($80, and he was surprised!), because he didn't want to "damage the transaxle in case he ever wanted to sell it".

Well SCREW that!  I'm hacking 1/2" off the darned transaxle spline tomorrow.  I'll MAKE it fit!
