Perfect replacement
I actually used the shaft on a old craftsman edger and it fits perfectly. The original part was discontinued by craftsman. I came upon this part by chance and I’m so glad I did.

Perfect fit for a part that was custom made to fit an old edger. Saved me from having to purchase a new gasoline edger.

Looks stronger than the original
Showed up fast. This was not listed for my craftsman edger. Decided to order it anyway seeing as the craftsman part was no longer available. It only had two holes near the end not three like the craftsman no worry the third hole was not used anyway. The pulley was a different diameter figured I could always swap it if needed. I put it together and everything worked perfect. So I did not swap the pulley.

The unusual story is sears sent two different "replacement" parts for the original broken piece. One was too wide and the other had the blade guard on the wrong side. Sears claimed the original part is no longer available. I found the exact replacement part needed at eReplacementParts. bought it, installed it and tested it out. works as good as new if not better. Thank you

Removed connecting parts that held the shaft on the machine, 3 bolts and a shifter clip.
Took it to the bench and removed the blade and guard along with the angle selector.
Once completed the spring slid out.
To install the new shaft I did have to use a wire wheel and remove the powder coating, as the
shaft would not allow the angle selector to slide on easily.
Once that was assembled, just had to reattach to the edger.
Worked perfectly!

Watched a YT video and followed his steps sequentially as he was doing it. The actual part for my craftsman edger was no longer in production and I was searching YT and came across this quill replacement that looked like my edger. In the comments section another person said that he also had a Craftsman edger and could no longer get the part but decided to give this assembly a chance. He said it worked as advertised on his Craftsman edger. I took the chance and ordered the part from you and it worked out great. The only thing I had to do was swap out the belt pulley because the new one was larger. If I didn't do this the pulley covers would not have fit on the quill assembly.
