Service Magazine SEPD0781, 25 April 2005, "A New Transmission Bolt Improves Service Life". Disregard this article. Refer to the following article.

Description of Change: A new bolt and a new washer are now used in the planetary transmission. The new bolt and the new washer will provide better durability.

Adaptable To: The 195-7879 Special Bolt has been replaced by the 262-9948 Special Bolt and the 165-0142 Hard Washer .

The new bolt has a larger radius under the head in order to improve durability. The new washer is required with the new bolt. Use special care in order to ensure that the old 5P-8249 Hard Washer is not used with the new bolt. The old 5P-8249 Hard Washer will fit over the shank of the new bolt, but will interfere with the larger radius of the new bolt.
