    So the spring is not even attached to the rotor; why didn't someone tell me this before? Cheese Whiz in a frying pan!

    Yes and no. The end of the spring can catch on the rotor. Just be careful that that's not the case when you take yours apart and the spring should stay in place.

    If you've looked at other forums on the site, you might know MM and his wife just had another baby, so cut the fella some slack on response time, eh?
    Nice video MasterMech. Very informative. And most definitely timely.
    That spring would most certainly have taken out my good eye.

    No, I did not know this. Congratulations MasterMech
    I was not demanding, I was simply asking. No need to berate me. If MasterMech had said, "No, no time I am too busy" then it would have been OK; I know how much time looking after little ones can be because I looked after the twins when they were little. I just wanted to see what MasterMech presented because I felt like that would be the best information; after all, he was the one that steered me in the right direction on the problem.

    The rotor came today; I will look over the video a couple of times and attempt the repair. I guess I should be able to do this; if I can overhaul an automatic transaxle I should be able to replace the rotor in the saw.

    Thanks MasterMech for making the video; big hugs.

    Yes, family is number one in the list. I read an article in a magazine once where this woman put the company over family; she felt the company was the most important thing; she spent holidays working for the company, took work home at night for the company. Her husband and children saw very little of her. They finally had enough and he filed for divorce and got custody of the children. The company ended up letting her go, so there she was, without a job or her family, all alone with nothing.

    Plus he walks both ways up hill to work, chased by wolves the entire time and it snows year round too.:D

    That, and he can fix a flobber knocker with a paper clip, and piece of gum.:handshake:

    Been doing more Pixie Wranglin' lately than flobber knockin'. VFD's PCB's and poorly designed relay logic panels, oh my!

    I tend to be the most effective with Gummi Bears on hand too.
