The drive shaft on our ZD28F72P has pulled out 3 times while running. Twice it has taken out the radiator.
The dealer went through it and put it back together the 1st time. I'm told by our mechanic that the drive shaft does not appear to slide on the splines all the way. I will be looking at it tomorrow to see if I can machine a 3/8" or 1/2" shim on the engine side of the shaft to make it seat further into the splines on the other end.... I've search for an illustrated parts manual to see if there are more than one length drive shaft or factory "spacers" or shims but cannot find a parts manual of any kind... We are a small golf course in central Florida...
Has anyone had any experience with this type of problem?
Thanks
