Looking through the manuals I have down loaded and printed, I’m not finding the torque for the fasteners that secure the transaxels. I’ve noticed one loose enough that you could see there had been movement. I snugged it up and checked the others. If someone could direct me to where I could find them, I would appreciate it. TIA, Clifff
