Monty McGraw was kind enough to
post a picture and parts list to answer my question about how to assemble a
front mounted mower arm. It's clear from the diagram and parts list that
there is indeed a 1/4" x 15/16" roll pin pressed through the shaft to retain it
in the outer cylinder. Today I met with another list member to find some
parts, and in examining a few arms in his collection and mine, we find the hole
through the shaft (in the position indicated in the diagram) was no where near
1/4". In fact it appeared to be about big enough for a slim cotter
pin. So apparently there was an "early version" which had a much smaller
pin, and a later version which had the 1/4" pin. I am sure I'll be able to
figure out how to deal with my arms (drill the hole larger!), but just thought
I'd share this bit of trivia with the group.
