Re: (ET) Mower Control
I don't think I'd like to wear out that roller shaft casting - which is
already worn sort of oval from previous owner's lack of lubrication.
Dirt getting in there would just grind the thing smaller on the outside.
And where would I ever find new ones? I don't seem to have trouble from
diggin in, I made the rollers a little bigger that the biggest one I had.
Didn't have to take much off the PVC stock, basically, the stock was
sort of oval, not truly round.
