Hello All, first off thank you in advance for taking time to read this post.
So I was mowing the lawn this morning when all of the sudden the throttle peddle got very mushy and reverse went out completely. When I went to investigate I found that the 5/16" nut and lock washer was missing to hold the speed change rod (F02300 SPEED CHANGE ROD) tight to the tranny ARM, HST Trunnion (K2581-42410).
So I know what the issue is, my problem is that the space between the frame and the oil filter is so tight, it looks like I might need to remove that oil filter to access this bolt. Is this true, does anyone have any ideas how to tackle this, because it is an incredibly difficult area to fit my hand into.
Thanks in advance!
