Torro Panther Track Adjuster Problem

[Zapper]

It would appear that I have stripped the thread on my Panther's rear idler. Does anyone have a quick fix as the rear wheel comes off under any pressure.

Morning. The shaft seems to be somewhat short on the idler.

It does look short but it still fits in the swing arm in full. The grub screw however just turns and you can easily pull the wheel off.

You can order a new set of swing arms. I’m sure you know it.
You could also do a thread for a bigger set screw. Must have a tool for that. I hope there is enough room for a bigger screw.
I would just order new arms.

Also pay attention to the alignment of the idlers. If they are not 100% parallel but are facing inward you need to replace the entire tensioner or install a different one.

Have you tried another allen key? Sometimes the keys get rounded off and just dont tighten.

Are the Tiger ones that same? I don't have a Tiger compare with the Panther?
