Blade on toro 20113 wont tighten - crank moving

Wow, I got lucky twice. Glad to see it worked out for you. Don't spread it around, just dumb luck. I hope you tighten that bolt good, or you may be replacing the adapter again.

Hi Guys,
Yes.....you guessed it.....another problem. I replaced the blade drive, but when I went to start the mower, I couldn't even pull the starter rope. Got back underneath and backed off the blade bolt...crank moves. Tighten up the blade nut....crank frozen. I see in the parts diagram there's a spacer at the top of the blade adapter...I thought this was still there from the old one....could this be causing the problem? When I removed the new drive assembly, it seems like the top of the assembly has marked the underside of the deck like it was too tight and needs something there to allow it to spin?
As usual, any and all help appreciated.
 
You need to put that spacer inside the new adapter, if you don't the adapter will ride too high and bind against the crankcase, causing your new problem.
