The knobby thingy on the safety shaft that hooks to the right side of the tractor seems to be on backwards. Is this possible? I bought this used and it may work this way but this knob sticks into the tire area when it really shows it pointing to the center in the manual. Thanks for your help! Todd J.

Thanks for the quick response Tom!! Hey, I think I have it figured out. Last night I took the time and looked at the bad copies of the original manual and determined that this piece I was talking about was upside down and backwards. I noticed that the previous owner had taken it apart sometime in the last 50 years and reinstalled it this way!? I took it apart and switched the spring mounted housing around to the right, inward position on the shaft which does have a detent towards the middle of the tractor. You mentioned that I could have rotated it to either direction which I could, but the detent would have been in the wrong place. I hope it works now, but I too, do not have the right bracket on the tractor so I am trying to fab one up at this time. Thanks again! Todd J.

Todd: If I understand what you're talking about, it should rotate about its axis so you can point it either out toward the tire or in toward the PTO...or at least mine does. I don't have my mower mounted quite by the book--a long story but basically 'cuz I am too cheap to buy the right mounting bracket--so there isn't much space between the rear tire and the break-away even with the 'knobby thingy' pointing towards center. But the bottom line is: mine will turn enough so I can point it either way.
good luck,
Tom
