Does anyone know whether it is possible to get a replacement Blade Insulator that is made out of steel instead of plastic? Each time I replace the blade, I have to use 2 or 3 of these plastic pieces because I either over-tighten it to begin with (and damage it so it needs to be replaced) OR I get it close to what I think is tight enough but then when I start the mower, the blade spins and damages this piece to where it has to be replaced. Currently I can't use the mower at all because I can't get the blade installed without damaging this plastic blade insulator piece.
Almost everything else in the area of the blade is made of steel (as they should be), except this one piece made of plastic. It's the achilles heal of my mower. Terrible design in my opinion.
I've searched the web for others who may have the same problem, but have yet to find anyone who has written about it. Let me know if anyone might have some advice please and thank you. Otherwise I will have to look at buying a new mower - which I really don't want to do.
Thanks a lot,
Murph
