Hello All

I have a 2013 40DKSE Hydrostatic Trans which I love. Problem is with my bucket loader. The threaded brass (?) rod that is supposed to indicate if my bucket is level or not keeps coming loose as the retaining nuts keep backing off and I loose one. I've tried all but the perm loc-tite and perm coming next!

Question is what size nut do I need? I want to run to TS or some such place and buy a handful. Then tack weld them on!

I can't tell you what size it is, but I blue locktited it and then staked it with an automatic center punch. Hasn't ever come loose again.
