ahhhhhhhhhhh darn, lost the wheel to my new rotary cutter

Hey Soundguy...If you were living near me I would be giving you some real competition...I even stop for rubber bungee cords, (haven't had to buy one in years)...and downed aluminum signs are fair pickin's for future workshop projects...

Just wondering if you mean "cotter pin" or "roll pin". If the dealer installed only a cotter pin, I'd be leaning on him for a new free tailwheel. If the Rhino is like my BushHog brand, no way a cotterpin would last any time at all.

Rhino uses a large Cotter pin on top of a large flat washer to hold the tail wheel shaft in. On my TW60 it is about a 1/4 " dia pin and you need a large pair of pliers to get it to come out. (don't ask why I had to take it out )

I like to use a piece of pipe just a little larger than the shaft. I drill a hole in the pipe where the pin goes and then put a bolt with a lock nut on it. I have never lost one done like this.
Oh, put a washer under the pipe.

Got the new wheel assembly. Only 212 dollars

It's only a cotter pin, I was right But my bushhog 5' SQ series has a roll pin (and it hasn't fallen out). NOt a good design on Rhino's part. I think i'll be putting a roll pin in there.

Meanwhile, my brand new TN75 blew up.

I have nothing working right now
It was NOT a good day.

my old ford 5'er has a huge rusty hitch pin in it above a big flat washer.

I figure it will take a large set of plyers should i ever want to take it off...

I think I'd pull the cotter pin and at least upgrade to a lynch pin or something else with a positive lock to it. It isn't load bearing, so a bolt would work also, but use a lockwasher with it.

I've gotten a lynch pin, with a keeper, and then i drilled it last night and I'm going to safety wire it on also

the cotter pin is a poor design.

That ought to hold it!
