This is a Common yet Unusual repair to the Snapper RER Mowers. In this Video, I replace the Yoke and and Plastic Bearings that hold it in place. With an additional reinforcement to the Yoke in a High Wear and Tear areas of 1-5th Gears.
12:32 "Design flaw" LOL , the ONLY flaw is your BENT IN rear case WHERE the yolk bracket is bolted, it's obvious that rear case is bent IN aka INTO the inside thus moving the drive line FROM it's designed position.
@@TheVoice010 BEWARE of his productions, he treats ALL pretty much the same but there are MANY changes, he has some misinformation in his differential rebuilds and some BAD info on the chain case rebuilds, in them he drives the needle bearings BACK into the case that LIMITS / HINDERS the grease from getting to the bearings
Friend you are going to SCREW that new yoke welding that to it, IF you do such do it to the used one, when you put all that heat to that thin material it will warp like a pretisel
Your rear case is SCREWED, because some idiot has been pulling stuff too heavy, the rear case where the yoke bracket is bolted is WARPED, thus EVERYTHING bolted to is has been MOVED, this is WHY your rubber drive tire has been shaved down, IF you are still working on it & need some actual PROFESSIONAL help let me know
"Just put a new rubber tire on it" Is the MOST COMMON FALSE opinion usually given, I worked AT the factory 40+ years, worked with EVERY part & blueprint of that mower ! Other false or incomplete info is found on Jims clips, actual Snapper factory past employees have attempted to help him but he ignores them
