Fighting suburbia in NC
Member
I looked on Messick's website for a blow up of the friction disk and surrounding bits and their drawing seems to be missing that particular detail. This is on my 63 2000 SOS that I keep limping along. The quadrant has been getting looser recently and now it has decided to slowly creep down as you bounce along mowing. So instead of using my right hand to hold it in place and manually steer the beast with my left I need go ahead and fix it for good. How many friction disks are in there and what is the order of the pieces stacked on that control shaft? I want to have everything I need to fix it when I dig into it. Or is it possible to torque down the shaft nut and have it last a while longer? Feels like the disk is pretty smooth at this point so replacement may be the best fix anyway.
Any words of wisdom most appreciated.
