The product, in the report: A walk-behind, gas-powered, rotary push lawn mower
Last month, when starting the lawnmower the cast-metal blade adapter (Part no. 748-0377C), which orients the blade on the engine shaft, broke sending a piece of the adapter’s collar into the blade flinging it out from under mower. In other words, a cast metal part that holds the blade to the lawn mower engine became a piece of shrapnel.
The lawn mower is an 11-year old, Series 420 walk-behind, gas-powered, rotary mower with a 21 inch blade that is manufactured by MTD LLC (Model No. 11A429R729 S/N IC281I11486).
While the adapter is subject to a lot of stress, the cast part must have had a defect for it to break. I have saved the original part as well as high resolution pictures.
