I do not see any snap rings... ignore the cut down axle - it’s hardened so I had to angle grind. Snap ring in place now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,993 #27 Posted 4 hours ago @meadowfield awesome ! your very typical detailing is showing you the way , a stand out for me . would be the related , chain lubrication , should be specific to that , would also think , polyurea rating , anti sling , open gear , cable related , sure you have a similar lube over there .BTW my favorite LUCAS X TRA HD , green chassis grease , has eliminated , , mower deck bearing failure / whine , 560 deg , drop point , been bombproof , important to flush out any original lube , ensuring no cross contamination, also perfect on pto lever , cone needle bearing , minimal ammount , spin up is very easy , responsive . love your work ! pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
