Turning Torque of Pinion Shaft
1. Remove the mower belt, and reassemble the gear box to the
mower deck.
2. Wind a string around the pinion shaft and set a spring balance (or
push-pull gauge) to the tip of the string, and then slowly pull the
spring balance horizontally to measure the turning force.
3. If the measurement exceeds the factory specification, check the
bearing and gears and adjust the adjusting shims (1), (2), (3).
