Machine was purchased 12/2019 and we only had a few snowfalls here (WI) thru Spring. Has the 414 engine.
Anyway, getting around to doing a service and dropped the pan beneath the machine and found this random bolt and lock washer sitting in the pan. Its 7/8" long, 1/2 hex bolt with a fine thread (it appears)
Any idea what it is? I have not flipped the machine up yet (will do later), was just pulling the pan to eyeball the insides to finish up later. I did not expect to see something like this on a new machine. Offhand I cannot see where it goes. There is no obvious missing bolt anywhere. Yes, I laid on my back looking around inside the cavity with a light, nothing I can see yet.
Can someone point me in a direction?
I do have the PDF parts list (looking through now) and really do not want to drag it to a dealer and spend weeks trying to get 1 bolt put back in if I can avoid it.
Bolt has a little grease on it, but it could've been flopping around in here awhile so not sure thats meaningful. I did grease the auger shaft today after removing the shear bolts. Unclear how that could tie into it. Have done an oil change etc.
Input welcomed. Thanks.
