When I bought my 2072 the other day, I knew it had a piece that had broken off the cast aluminum axle carrier housing. One of the previous owners had over-torqued a bolt and popped off a chunk of aluminum. I figured it wasn't a problem, I just ordered another used axle carrier.
What I failed to notice was that the bolt was a larger size (3/4" head instead of the original 9/16").This means that someone has likely drilled out the Rear Transaxle Housing to accommodate the larger bolt.
Ideally, I'd like to use the bolt that is supposed to be there as opposed to the larger one. How would I go about repairing the Transaxle housing to return the hole to original size? Would I be better off to just go ahead and drill out the new axle carrier to use the same larger bolt? Thanks
