Dan, if you have a CNC plasma cutter I'm sure you know about McMaster-Carr but for others here's a link to spanners. You're looking for a hook spanner, not a pin spanner. There are also adjustable spanners to fit a range of OD's. They're a little pricey. Grainger would also have them. spanner wrenches | McMaster-Carr

Thanks for the reply Dan. It's just one of those nagging things that bug you, ya know? It's not supposed to be like that, (I don't think). It certainly is still very useable so for now I'll just use it as is. (It doesn't bother me enough to start tearing into it).

I've searched the forum but don't think I found a solution. I just bought a used 2022 UT 400 with only 31 miles on it. Often I have to rev the motor just a little to get it to shift into forward or reverse. The original owner told me about this and said it needed the cable adjustment that you so often read about. It also jumped out of gear a few times and did grind a little but not very often and only under heavy load like going up a steep dirt road. After reading lots of posts I figured it must be the short shifter throw so I did the shifter extension modification. It didn't help at all. I thought, should I increase the idle speed? The tach reads about 1600 rpm at idle but it doesn't sound that fast to me. It doesn't seem like cable adjustment because it clicks right in gear with just a few more revs. Any ideas? Thanks for any wisdom.
