rocker loosens and push rod falls out

[Poppyb1957]

I have a Bush Hog ES2052 zero turn with command pro 7000 Kohler. Rocker arm loosened and push rod came loose. Put it back together and it keeps coming loose, even with lock tight on the threads. This time, I couldn't even get it to tighten down on the push rod enough to keep it in place. Help!

Please post the model and spec numbers off the sticker so we know exactly which engine you have. We hate guessing and our psychic powers have been wacky due to COVID-19.

Figured out my problem and fixed it.
