I was wondering if anyone knows if Toro has updated /recalled their spindle shafts & pulleys on their mowers. I've had alot of trouble with them this year and the dealer i use says that they had a bunch of bad shafts that came from the factory. It causes the splines to strip where they are matched up to each other. Also I noticed that when I ordered a spindle assembly for my 52" the new one has a splined shaft and pulley and the old one i took out didn't (which makes me think that they updated them) On a seperate note , I found out that Z- master's don't float : ( Put one of mine in a pond today, the grass was wet from light rain and got on some clippings on a steep hill and that was it. Also found out that the pond is over my head when I bailed off when it hit the water.So I at least got some swimming in too. : ) Only good thing was that the motor never went under
We heard of spindel problems on older ones and that was not a big issue but the 2000s have changed I belive well according to my toro flyer they have.
