<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">My mower deck has spindles that the
shaft (vertically) goes through. As do most decks. The problem I
have is that the top of the spindle is held only with the set screw (a
small hex head screw) that puts pressure on the key that put pressure on
the shaft.</font>

The problem is that the shaft constantly slides down and this puts the
blades much lower.</font>

I missing something?</font>
