hey all,
last summer a buddy who has a 535 brought me a spacer that went where the lift pedal would be on the x500. the retainer c clip that held it on fell off and everything came apart while he was mowing... we put it back together and i never herd from him.
late last fall i took delivery of a x530, (different dealer) never cut grass. last weekend i cut the yard and i noticed the deck wasn't lifting right. when i stopped to look, the same spacer was on the deck with the washer and clip? the lifiting arm was off the pin completely...
I talked to my buddy and he says his falls off all the time. i want to drill and tap the shaft and lock that thing on with a good bolt, but i wanted to check with you guys first. it seems the spacer is a little too long for the clip to make it in the groove on the shaft. I tried to get the shaft to walk over more for the clip to work but i was not sucessful.
the shaft looks like the factory assembled it and pinged the shaft with a centerpunch to hold the clip on? I feel the clip should fit in the groove on the shaft
any idears?
thanks
chris
