We've got a Sears DYS4500, and the bolt holding the main pulley/clutch assembly fell out yesterday... didn't expect that.
The threads at the end of the bolt are stripped; I'm guessing the stayed in the hole after loosening up a bit, because a new bolt won't go in without stripping the threads on that new bolt
What's the best way to clean out the threads in the hole? Get a thread cutter in the appropriate size? The bolt does start to thread in but only for a couple of turns.
