Today, ( 4/24/2022) I went to grease and check the gearbox oil on my new flail mower to get it ready for its first use. Recieved it last month and it is still in the shipping crate.
When I started loosening the plug on the aluminum gearbox to check the oil it came out in an oblong motion instead of a circular motion. I knew the plug was stripped before I even looked at it.
The threads are all rounded off. Can it be repaired or is this a warrenty issue?
It is obvious that if I reinstall the plug it will not catch threads to help it seat.
Any suggestions?
I am going to turn it in for warranty consideration tomorrow.
