Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Sabre mower, center bolt, steel bolt


Question
I have a 19 horse sabre that keeps twisting off the center bolt to the deck clutch. do you have or know where to get a diagram of this assembly. Any ideal why it is doing so?

Answer
Mr Blackwood,

   Saber Is Mfd By John Deere I would try contacting JD Inc for that Information John Deere Saber Series
The only reason that is happening is you need to use a heat treated hardened steel Bolt for that Engines HP rating the torque output is greater then a normal bolt can withstand at 2500 PSF footlbs Heat treated gives you a harder steel and resists shearing or twisting
