Got a 31Q677 in the shop at the moment
Been out in the weather so the nuts on the air filter cover had rusted solid to the bolts.
The bolts are turning in the housing so I cut the thumb caps & nuts off but the threads on the bolts are heavily rusted and turn freely in the housing.
To prevent the same thing happening again I want to fit the housing that JD use with the sealed thumb screws that screw into the housing 1/2 turn.
Down side I can't seem to work out the right part number as there are so many changes and everything seem to end up with the same number 592814
So the question is has to open screw type been superceeded to the 1/2 turn type or do I need a different part number and if so what is it.
OR
How does one get those bolts out without rendering the housing useless so I can fit plastic bolts thus over coming the rust problem.
This mower lives out in the weather.
