Hi again, earlier I was looking for a thick washer for the spline coupler. I ended up just finding an outfit that makes various size thick washers. Since mine looked a bit abused, I went with a stainless steel washer of the same thickness and inner diameter, but 1/8 inch larger on the outer diameter. Seemed like a better fit. Anyway, I found out what over-tightening the bolt does, so now I'm looking for a new spline coupler. I was putting a little extra torque into it since the reason I had to pull the engine was because the bolt holding the coupler on, had come off.
Since LPS was the last suggestion for parts, I looked there first. They can get me their version of the coupler, but out of stock for 90 days. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on where to look next. The Bobcat dealer can get me one in about 3 days or so, but it is over twice as much, at $200 plus shipping. I can get an aftermarket one through MRK Sales via Amazon, (about $150 plus shipping), but not sure what either the quality or warrantee would be through MRK.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
