After the last snowstorm which was just a couple weeks ago I lost control over my shift lever. I had kinda reported this before and the lever was lodged with a piece of ice. Ran fine after melting. But this time I actually lost the bolt or whatever hardware that the shift lever pivots on. I added a bolt, nut and washer I had lying around and it shifts into forward gears and reverse much more stiffly and pronounced. Guess this was always loose? Only problem is that it's a chore getting it into neutral. In looking closely at the pictures it looks as though it may not be just a simple bolt and nut in this specific location. There is an oval around this area. It looks like it is perhaps something special that is supposed to "glide" or "slide" a bit as opposed to the bolts and nut just to the left and right of it? Anyone have the same tractor that might be able to take a picture for me. Or perhaps someone may know the actual part number?

I have a screwdriver sticking through it in this picture.

Harmonys are a bit thin on the ground being that cost almost as much as a small car so were not big sellers .
Honda proved what a lot of us already knew. Joe public will not pay what it costs to make a top quality mower.

Go to partstree.com and dial in your model number to the parts finder to bring up the parts diagram for your mower.
If you had included the serial & model number some of the really good computer jockeys here would have done the keyboarding for you .
