I bought a used Delta X5 model 43-431X shaper. It’s in good condition except for the spindle. And perhaps the spindle cartridge. The spindle is out of true (about 1/64″ near the base), the collars are jammed on it so that I had to screw them off. The pin on the cartridge is almost flush with the side of the cartridge. I assume I need at least a new spindle and collars, and possibly a new cartridge. The spindle is 3/4″. I’d also like to buy a spindle that will hold my router bits. Is there a source to purchase or have these parts repaired? A Canadian source would be nice, but an American source is fine. Thank you.

We have a similar problem and I'm finding that most parts are unavailable or discontinued.
Ereplacement parts has the short 3/4" spindle in stock for that model: Part #432020850005S https://www.ereplacementparts.com/delta-43431x-type-industrial-shaper-parts-c-3275_4046_4054.html
Mikes tools list it, but no mention of whether it's in stock or not: https://www.mikestools.com/download/Delta-Parts-Lists/43-431X-2-Speed-Heavy-Duty-Wood-Shaper-WS2D1A.pdf
