1200A Secondary Cap Screw
Sorry to post this in Gator forum, but I think the part number is the same for both vehicles. While troubleshooting some wobble in the driven, I noticed the set screw head was not where it should be. After removing unit, I saw the cal screw had brown off in the shaft. I want to extract it, but want to make sure it's left hand thread before I tap it. The parts diagra,s for both gator and 1200a show same part number, but only one has left hand thread in description. I would assume it's LH but thought I might ask here to be sire. Also, does anyone know the length of the screw? And bushing dimensions?
Thanks
coach Larry

The picture looks like an 8mm bolt. They were 8mm up to sn130445 then they went to 10mm. 8mm is a LH thread and that's normally why they are twisted o ...

Yes, it's 8mm, and sorry for all the typos in my OP. Thanks for deciphering it. Ok, I will tap it and hope I can get it out of there. Thanks again.

I'm not sure if you've tried this yet, but if the bolt broke because of tension and is not bottomed out, you might try a pin punch or nail set p. Another old and useful trick is, when the shaft is hot, hold a bit of beeswax against the stuck bolt or into the bore. It will sweat into the threads and make removal easier regardless of whether tapping with punch or easy out or whatever.

Thanks for your post Trainpilot. I will try using the pin punch trick with a bit of heat. I bought the new Deere cap screw and it has red loctite on it, so might be a little tough if its a stock screw in there. Have never used the beeswax trick; thanks for that. My plan is to drill and tap, using a hex bolt to remove if I cannot do it with the punch..

Unfortunately, I broke my first tap while nearly done tapping a 6/32 thread. Now I have an 8mm LH bolt with a broken 6/32 hardware-store (junk) tap broken off just below the surface. I really don want to take the transaxle off the machine if I can help it, but not sure I can get this little tap out. Big bummer..

Mapp gas is the hottest I have on site, and the tip is just a standard soldering tip. I suppose I can try to be precise and hopefully make it brittle enough to punch or drill. If that doesn't work, I'll try a carbide bit and increase to 8/32. Should I go dry or wet n drilling new hole with tap in. Other than that, looks like a long day of taking transaxle off and putting the shaft in the mill.

Success! Oh man I was on my last ditch effort. I broke two carbide bits and had only made small headway. I decided to try hammering a flat blade bit into the mess and it caught some traction. You can see what happened next.

That's great. I see you also have one of my favorite models of Vice Grips.

That's one my most used tools. Hard to believe it's not more popular. Thanks for your help TP.
