Excessive Wear on Sear

[BartManSr]

After going through two boxes of seal replacements, a new bolt, and short of throwing the RT (old style)in the trash can, I check the sear for excessive wear. This must of been a defected sear, I never seen something so worn down before.

See pictures below:

Interesting. That area is where a solid carbide insert was brazed into. It looks like the piece just broke out of there or the insert was a bad one that didn't get treated right and wore down too quickly. Either way, call AGD and get one of the new style RT sears. They don't have the inserts but still have the bearing.

I noticed that in order to see the pictures, one would have to download the zip file. A lot of people may not want to do this but still wanting to see the pictures.

Soooooooooooo here are the pictures:

You have seen old mower blades haven’t you? ;)

I already called AGD and told them of the forum. It's still going to cost me $30.00. Oh well, at least I'll have it by Friday.
