"Spare Parts"

I found a set screw on my forward magnetic plug when I was changing transmission fluid.

I am thinking this was dropped during installation and another one installed.

The service manager where I bought the 6520 (he has opened his own shop now) thinks it goes on a shifter indent. He said he wasn't surprised. So I guess this kind of thing has happened before. Since I don't have any shifting problems, I think this is an "extra" setscrew. I sure hope it is.

My hour meter is at 497.5 hours. Also, my rear axle fluid is suppose to be separate from transmission fluid. I suppose to have a drain plug on each side and add fluid after removing the left and right axle breathers. The problem is ...........there are no plugs where the ops manual photo shows them.

I also seem to be missing the second from the front plug also

, which is not a bad thing, except no magnet. It is like these three plugs were never drilled and tapped. The flat spot is there for them, but just flat surface. So now I will have suck the fluid out to change it.

The ex service manager also said to drop a magnet in to see if any metal is there.

The problem with that is there is 3 inch diameter or so axle blocking the magnet's access.

I will present this all to Tomball and my dealer on Monday.

Gotta love those mysterious extra parts!
Last night I found a dent in the floor pan under/behind the seat...big enough the paint's flaking. Where it's at, there's no way anything got it after assembly.

Good luck with the fluid change.

Urednecku,
I think I would love your unidenificed dent better than the setscrew! How is live treating you and yours?

I told Top Flight about my extra set screw this morning. They documented it in the computer and gave me a print out on it. Now if something goes wrong and the shifter is to blame, I will have something to fall back on.
hugs, Brandi
