I have Bush hog 2615L (15' batwing, bought used) mower.
The center stump jumper got a little loose so I went to
tighten up the castellated nut. The nut went another turn
or two, not sure how many, but then I noticed that the nut
had gone beyond where the castellations would be held by
the cotter pin. So I found a big washer and put it under
the nut. That took care of that problem, but when I
tightened up the nut the stumpjumper pushed against
something and seized. I backed the nut off a little bit
and now all is well.
Question, what wears, the inside of the stumpjumper, or
the shaft? Do I need a new stumpjumper, or just find what
is binding and grind it off?
