Make sure your PTO shaft is balanced and all u-joints are square, tight and well greased, make sure your blades are [balanced] of equal weight, ny-lock nuts and lock washers are junk, grade 8 fine [machine] thread bolts with flat washers and actual crimped steel lock nuts, red Loctite it all together with short cheater or break over bar, you can heat Loctite with torch if need to remove later. Yep. This would cure the problem.

If the holes in gear box or channel are "wallered" out much at all you have hard time keeping anything tight

This is the answer to why implement dealerships don’t sell welding equipment.

Hire out the job??
or do what gunner, EdM, and a few others have said.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek

Just tag the nut. On a Brown tree cutter the blade nuts have to be tagged or they'll come loose.

Castle nuts and cotter pins- - - -after using a long wrench and some red loctitie. Once the nut is tight, then drill a hole through the castle area and insert a tight cotter pin.
