So, after I could see how that torsion spring went together on that control arm, putting it back together was a piece of cake.
Then I dropped out the entire real axle assembly to see what the guts inside that thing looked like.
Yow, what a stripped out groady mess! Pinion gear was OK. but the bevel gear, chain, and chain sprockets were a wreck. I found I can get the individual parts, but there's so much wear through out I might go with replacing the whole assembly. That'll be a little spendy so I got to think about it.
I'll put everything back together today or tomorrow and see if it will go back to running again.
That mower doesn't get used all that much now anyway.
My main machine to keep down a couple acres of grass and weeds around the house is a rig I put together with the tractor unit of my BCS 735 and a Troy-Bilt deck and engine unit I built a mount for that I can even get through the brome and thistle that's already waist high in places.
