I am starting to put my 420 back together and was wondering about the spacer, Part #M2814T. The spacer does not get tight. When the nuts are tight the spacer still swings up and down. I this supposed to do this or is it supposed to be tight.

Just wondering if I to repair/replace this as well.

It is supposed to be tight. You can put a flat washer on there as well as the lock, that might tighten it up.

Thanks Lavoy

Is there any certain amount of clearance between the spacer and the idler wheel? I was loose and rubbing on the wheel before I took it apart.

There probably is, but I do not know what it is. If you think there is too much wear, you could put the washers on the inside instead.

Now that the brackets are tight to the axle shaft there is about 1/8" of side clearance on the ends of the spacer. It looks like the bosses around the 7/16" holes on the inside of the bracket are worn from the loose spacer swinging. I will shim between the inside of the bracket and shoulder of the spacer with some washers and tighten the nuts.
