My motor worked its way loose, and before I noticed it one of the "ears" where the sump bolts to the mower deck had broken off, so now I need to replace the sump. It seems to be a reasonably simple repair, but I'm having trouble getting the sump off. I removed the drive pulley and the seven sump bolts, but it looks like there's still one (or at least one) bolt coming in from the top side holding the sump on there. I can't get a good view of the top of that bolt, so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get it loose. It is recessed, so I figured it must be a hex head socket, but don't seem to be able to find the hole. Any advice would be most appreciated! (This is a 121S02-0130-F1 engine off a Timemaster 20199 2014 model if that makes a difference.)
Thanks!
