The fact that the wee man next door had no trouble locating this 'pin', suggests it was built for easy access. Was it possibly a 'shear pin' designed to, you know, shear under abnormal load to prevent catastrophic failure of the gearbox. As in an inexperienced operator changing direction before the machine has come to a complete stop.
Could you post the make and model numbers.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
