I just learned on another forum that there have been a lot of stripped axle splines on RZT mowers and possibly Z-Force.
To prevent this from happening, make SURE that the rear wheel hub bolts are kept tight. Once loose, the spline moves around and strips.
The information was specifically talking about a half inch shaft, which would be the RZT unit, but it sounds like this is a good inspection tip for a Z-Force as well.
Just wanted to pass this valuable info along to my Cub friends here on the forum.
Have a great day,
Doc
