Went to change my oil at 288 hours. Started it up to warm the oil and I had the hood open while it was running. Niticed something odd on the muffler side.
Lower Alternater bolt was spinning against the belt.
At some point the nut came off and the only thing holding the bolt from falling out was the belt.
Bolt threads were worn so I bought an M10 70 mm replacement with locking nut at Tractor supply.
Good thing I caught it..bolt could have eventually come out..or belt would have broken and caused all kinds of damage.
