Has anyone ever lost a blade when the top nut of the shaft that goes through the spindle came off? Just got a Tiger turf, took it for my first cut. Blade was all the way up, 5", After about 30 minutes I heard a vibration, shut the PTO off. Driving back to the shed, slowly, I turned around and saw the shaft, spacer with blade on the end. It had been dragging but when it hit a small root, the top 1" of the shaft bent and the blade shaft and all was laying on the ground behind me.
Taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I really like the mower, 61" velocity deck, Kawasaki engine. You would think they torque the nuts at the factory.
Thanks, Don
