rooski, I had the same experience with my shaft. It is very tight and I am hoping this is just a massive amount of torque from the motor. I am still waiting on someone to tell me if the shaft comes greased or do I have to do it before I run it??
I am worried that there is a friction point somewhere in the drive line. I'm tempted to take the motor out and see if the shaft turns smoothly and easily then. I think I'll wait to hear from Russ or Grim when they get back before I do anything further.
