Kind of tractor related as I use my DR Brush Mower to get into places my Ford 3600 & brush hog won't go. Been a good machine for 5 yrs but this week it threw the drive chain. Cause? The 4 bolts that hold the differential together along with the driven sprocket had NO lock washer, NO nylock nuts or NO loctite. 2 of the 4 bolts were missing (anybody's guess how long they've been gone) and the 3rd was mangled in half on my garage floor and the 4th was almost out, leaving the sprocket wobbling.
Called DR and they said they buy the drive train as a unit from a supplier and there are supposed to be nylock nuts on the bolts. Basically they were saying it's not their fault.
Anyway, just a warning to anyone who's got a DR Brush Mower to check the driven sprocket for something more than just a nut holding it on.
