John Deere LX5 driveline replacement

Hello everyone,

I've recently found that I need to replace the driveline on my John Deere LX5 rotary mower. Outside of purchasing the pipe from John Deere does anyone know a source for the driveline pipe itself? One other question – is the driveline pipe itself press fit into the yoke then pinned or just slip fit then pinned? I haven't pulled it apart just yet. I thought I would see if I can find the pipe before I start tearing it apart.

Thank you,
Kenneth
