If you can't figure it out call Rod's TM Repair (724-3126) He's out by East Fork Lake. He does good work and he's resonable. I've beat up a few TM's over the years and he's fixed them w/ no problems.

I'm guessing something is out of place, they can be tricky. One trick guys use to hold the brushes in while putting it back together are paper towel or toilet paper tubes. You can find schematics online if you want to take it apart and put it back together proper.

I dunno. The phone call is free. I've been there a few times and his prices always seemed resonable to me.

I say if you're going to mess something up, mess it up good.

Rod has taken care of me when I needed him and if I needed a part he would have it in a couple of days if he didn't have it in stock.

Glad I could help

lets just say when i tryed to put it back together, the 1st time i kinda hit it with a hammer.. im kinda a dumby for that one. rule number 1 if it don't go dont force it. but any ways i messed up the rod. he replaced that and the hole thing that goes to it and the foot peddle butting fried up don't know how i did that it wouldn't do the clicking noise. replaced both things for 50$,, o yeah make sure you take MONEY not a check card he don't take that. if i get my deck done tomorrow ill be back out on the lake thurs.
