(By the way, the mower is a lousy mulcher, but it is too new to consider
replacing the mower.)

I had the same problem with a GCV 135 engine. I found a local repeir shop in Wigan who have the equipment to straighten the shaft insitu. I had to leave the engine with them as it was a 12 hour process.
Well worth the 30 quid it cost me.
