Unknown Hobart N50 parts fell out
Hi all,
I went to regrease my N50 by pulling it apart. However, in the process of pulling it out, a couple things fell out. The first is some sort of a bracket or harness. Next to it is the front cover for scale:
The other thing that fell out is a nut, I'm in the process of figuring the thread size and will update with its dimensions later. The left is the small nut that holds the 00-812450 bracket/motor bearing in the back. The right is the unknown nut.
I'm now done regreasing hoping to find where these would go during reassembly, but nothing jumps out, even in the parts manual. Any help would be great!
Update: The nut on the right is 1/4-20. Nothing in the parts manual that mentions this.
Thanks,
AK

Update: I found the location for the small harness. There's a notch (poorly hand-filed) on the rim of bracket/motor bearing assembly that allows the assembly to sit flush to the back. I'm assuming this is some sort of a ground wire, but the machine itself does not appear to have a ground wire anywhere.
I'm still looking to see where the nut should be. It's relatively clean, so it cannot be inside of the transmission. It has got to be somewhere else on this machine.
