HST Fan on GC

[madhatter]

Well, I am not sure if it is because I have a 2310 with the sub frame, but what a
@$@#$!#% pain that was to change the fan. I just could not get it on the shaft ( without fear of snapping a blade ) without pretty much taking off the
floor board. Then once i got it on, the engine to HST shaft fell off the u-joint off the engine. You cannot see it, nor reach it very well to feed the shaft back on, as the underside has the metal skid plate. But, after a lot of scrapes and swearing pretty loud, it is done. I am building a shield for this stupidly designed fan ! :confused2:

Just keep working in the woods without the deck and you will get plenty of practice at it. :laughing:
