In their infinite wisdom....
Craftsman decided to have the 4 motor mount bolts installed from the bottom...:mob:
So after hours of wrestling it from underneath I said f**k it and removed the auger....I could only access 1 bolt(barely) from underneath due to linkages and the damn frame:icon_fU:
Once auger was removed, I was now able to lift the engine up an inch, get a wrench in there and snug all 4 bolts up!
F**kin lunacy with this was ridiculous.
The 4 bolts had loosened up and I had snuggled them up top with visegrips, but needed to do it "properly" as they had loosened up again.
I will get 4 3/8" jam nuts to help keep those pricks from loosening up....I put a nut on top of one to show what I mean...see to the left of oil drain.
