Coadster32 793 #2 Posted August 25, 2009 There is a set screw adjustment on the front of the case just below the shifter handle. You can try to snug this up a bit. I've also seen some handles with weld on them that broke a bit. Just back out the set screws and pull the shifter handle right out. (put in neutral before you do this though). Weld it back up, and send her home. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,273 #3 Posted August 25, 2009 sodbuster...can help a little...the serial & model # are located on a tag on the tower below the steering wheel. My model# looks like 62-18107 you can download manuals for the 502 in yahoo manuals group 1 and the deck manual in yahoo manuals group 5...you have to register in each group, but the download is free....the links to the groups are pinned in the section at the top of this thread marked links. pictures would help us determine what you actually have. your mower could be a RM-323 or RM-363. hop that helps or gets you started. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
