I will be picking up a "new to me" 2009 TM 3023 on Saturday Feb 26th in Maryland and dragging it home to Florida. Hopefully I won't run into tire problems as I'm going to attempt the 15 hour trip non-stop.
Thanks for any input...Brian

I just now read this thread. I went to my kitchen "odds n ends" drawer and got out a couple of standard square tipped screwdrivers. I walked out to the driveway and fitted the end of the smaller one into the square hole in the screw. It fit "cattycornered" into two of the corners, and I turned the screw by maintaining a little forward pressure while twisting my wrist counter clockwise. I measured the width of the tip at 5/16".
I will pick up the appropriate screwdrivers when I think of it. Meanwhile, what I have is adequate.
