Looking for the problem with my finishing mower leaving streaks, I verified the blades were clean and the belt tension was right on at 2 7/8 inches. Then, wow, there were no pins in the hitch arms. I can see how the mower would move side to side without those pins. Guess I will have to put those on the "pre-flight" list I use every time I use my 4110. THese are not the pins where the unit attaches. They are ones on the arms to adjust the length.
These were simple pins with "bobby-pin" type clips. I am replacing them on my way home tonight but I was wondering what others do to prevent this. I will look at wrapping some baler wire around them if it will fix it. Anyone use a nut and bolt? Is there some other kind of pin to use?
