    Second Spindle This Year

    Ok, I must be missing something on my 42 inch that I rebuilt a couple of years ago. it's been fine until this year and I just had a second keyway failure of the season. My question is, does the key go through the washer I have marked in red? I don't remember the old washers having a notch so...

    Is it the pipe thread that is stripped? If so it might be easier to just add a flange to your muffler and use the two 1/4 inch , I think, on the sides of the port. If it's the tapped holes then a helicoil will work.

    David...assuming that the 25 foot mentioned on your roller is actually 25 inches, i'm thinking that your roller is roughly 670 lbs. I have one made from an old hot water tank filled with concrete and i figured that comes in at about 800 lbs. and as you say....it works great

It has all the power I...
