I'm running across a lot of Briggs motors that act like they have a bent shaft. I have one on the bench that vibrates, though the shaft looks as true as can be, and the blade isn't bent. Thoughts?
Shaft Bent Inside?

Yes that is a form of unbalance (load induced) along with static and dynamic plane

Blades get out of balance from sharpening and not re-balancing them. I've had to grind a 1/2" square piece out the end of a blade that was sharpened 1 time. It was a mulching blade, I just thought it shook because of the extra cutting of stuff under the deck. Nope. Out of balance right off the bat.
