Service Information Bulletin (No. 96-003) - Sabre 1338 Gear Technical Manual

Service Information Bulletin
May 14, 1996
SUBJECT:
AFFECTS:
The mower drive lever (key # 58 below) uses a loose fitting, long spacer (key # 150) that fits
around the lever shaft between the frame and the pivot arm (key # 103) under the frame, Due to
the proximity of the transaxle drive belt to the bushing, the vibration of the drive belt, can cause
the belt to contact the bushing resulting in a chattering noise.
Although this chattering noise produces no functional problems, it can be eliminated by the
installation of wave washer (M46935) between the pivot arm (M122986) and the spacer
(M123249). The addition of this wave washer keeps the spacer from sliding up or down on the
mower engagement shaft resulting in a tighter fit between the pivot arm and the spacer.
Refer to the illustration below for the location of the wave washer.
