squonk 46,372 #1 Posted 2 hours ago We've all read our operating manuals. HA! YEAH RIGHT!!! They all say check all fasteners before operating! Well I was out mowing with the Wheel a Matic and Dino deck and I got to noticing how low it was cutting. Then I saw both "special 7/16-20 shoulder bolts had fallen out that hold the height adjusting rod!!! I had 1 spare so I had to go to the parts room and get a wheel lug bolt and lug nut to secure the adjuster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 45,950 #2 Posted 58 minutes ago Timely post Mike. I was mowing with the 48"SD on the 312H Monday when the engine started to bog down. I flipped the PTO off as I stopped. When I looked behind the center blade was scalping the grass. The center spindle bolt and pulley had come loose and allowed the center blade to drop down. All back together and torqued all three spindle bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
