Default Loose Arbor on Jet TS

The arbot bolt (104) passes through 106 (bearing) and 115 (spanner
nut). The nut (116) screws directly onto the threaded end of the
arbor bolt (104). From what I can see, the spanner nut simply holds
the bearings in-place, and the nut (116) keeps the arbor in-place
(from sliding side to side) inside the bearings, allthough the pulley
(110) also keeps the assembly locked in-place side to side. The
spanner nut (115) actually threads into the arbor bracket (114). So I
think all I need to do is tighten that nut (116). But that seems too
simple -- hard to believe that one nut is all there is to it. But
visually that seems to be the case. I cannot see the load spacers
(107 and 108) on either side.

I do get some saw marks -- that in my opinion should not be there. I
figured the arbor should have no play what-so-ever.
