Default Any lawnmower experts here? ( cotter pin )

The bolts that hold the handle to the deck. Check to see if there
is a hole through the tip of the bolt. Mine has cotter pins
there.

Quick question, hope some kind person has the answer-

Just picked up a new mower at Sears today. Sear Craftsman
#917.377121
Self-propelled, key-start, variable speed EZ walk. 21" Hi-vac
3-1 cut
system.

When I unpacked the mower I found a cotter pin lying at the
bottom of the
box. I've looked all over the mower, top, sides, and
underneath and
can't find where the pin should go. Any ideas?

THANKS, PHIL


I should add the pin is just shy of 1&1/2" in length. Doesn't
look like it
secures the handle to the mower deck, just bolts there. I'll
look under the
deck again tomorrow. Its raining today ...
