Hey Guys,

  I have been adjusting my Toro 824 and I noticed that the drive wheel for the reverse gears has a lot of play in it. The only thing attaching it to the shadt is what seems to be a shear pin. I just don't feel that it should have this much play in it. I was thinking maybe the shear pin/bolt was replaced with o\ne that is too small causing the reverse drive wheel to have play.

Do you guys have any input on this?

I am noticing that the bore on the reverse drive disc is slightly larger then the shaft. This is what is causing the play. Is this normal?
