Armrest Mounts?

yup...

Anyone know what the trick is to removing the shroud on a Kawasaki FR691V. All the bolts are removed. It wiggles but won't come off?!? What's up?

 

[StarTech]

Did you remove the debris screen screws and debris screen?

 

[Dan BP]

NO. It has plastic fasteners and I don't have any replacements. Is there some clips under the plastic fan shroud cover?

 

[StarTech]

Those plastic fasteners [92039] are supposed to removable and usable. Just pry up the center pin to release them. Under that plastic cover is a metal rotating screen [14037] that prevents the shroud from coming off. It is actually a little larger then the fan hole in the shroud. Three screws [92151] that requires either a hex bit or a torx bit depending the engine age is what hold this screen on. May have to smack them to get them to loosen.

Thanks. I researched the push rivets last night and problem solved. What a terrible design with the fan screen oversized to hold down the shroud
and keep it from being removed. The manual, of course, doesn't mention this very important step.
Thanks for following up! Best DB

Fan screen is oversized to help prevent sucking in debris...

Not every seat can be fitted with armrests and MTD own the Cub Cadet brand.

MTD purchased the Cub Cadet line from International Harvester Co. in 1981. Before 1981 Cub Cadet was a very solid built, reliable product. After 1981, they just became another generic rider mower with yellow paint and stickers slapped on them.

Got it. Thanks! It took me a while to research those 3 plastic rivets, but once I had a visual of the design. I got it. Pass it on.
Very frustrating ordeal............ DB
