[quote="CVPost-Geo-TH,In"](quoted from post at 17:01:17 05/06/16) What sheared off the bolt holding the electric mower clutch off my old JD275 garden tractor? The direction of rotation is ccw, same direction you would turn the bolt to loosen it. The small part of the bolt looks like it has some blue lock tight on it. It backed out with of crank with ease, Thank God. Something caused the bolt to snap, what? I took the dust cover off the bearing, it looks and feels good. There is a pic looking down the clutch. Notice the broken part is level with the bottom of the key, So bolt had to snap before the clutch could fall off. Looks like the OEM bolt. It has JD 109 stamped on the head. Looks like a hardened bolt too. Never seen anything like it have you. Any theories how this happened?
Don't want to say it's common, but it's common. Dad has a LX188 with the kawi and the first bolt lasted many years. The first time it broke was shortly after the engine came apart, a rod bolt had backed out and was ticking (at that time, we estimated close to 2500 hours on the mower) and it seems like we have to replace the bolt about every other year since. Dad gets em from JD and I think the one he got last year was about $5.00 (I picked it up when I got baler parts, they had it in stock at my local dealer). I've finally convinced him to keep an extra and the "washer" that holds the clutch on, because one time we couldn't find the washer, of course he only has the extra cause I bought 2 LOL.
