I either must be doing something wrong or they packaged the complete wrong set of stuff.
1. The nuts fit into the screws and stop... leaving 1/2 inch wiggle room when put on the mower's attachements.
2. The handlebar - when mounting the the mower, it's TOO WIDE to even THINK about attaching it to the engine area with the provided screws.
I guess I should say "WTF?" to MTD. I'll be returning this thing back to home depot tomorrow. Unless there's any help? or videos someone can share of assembly?
