Hi all. First time poster, long time reader. Gotten a wealth of information from this site over the years, but have a problem I haven't had any luck searching an answer for. Appears I overworked my 1705 and broke the stabilizer on one of my control arms. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. Hoping for some advice on an online resource. I tried the online agco parts book but they only listed each individual part rather than the entire stabilizer. I have a couple of pictures but I think I need more posts before I can attach them. Thank you

I you replace the two threaded pins with an appropriate size clevis (same as the other end that's already on there) these should work..

Thank you. I'll double check those measurements.

So what actually broke? The threaded part of the square piece?

The threaded part on the turnbuckle nearest tractor broke and the other pin that attaches clevis to farthest end of 3 point arm. Hope I'm explaining that well. All I have left is pin, clevis, and broken threaded part that screws into turnbuckle and the clevis from the other end I found in the field.

Looks to me that they aren't sold as a unit (which is odd). You may want to go to your dealer and see if they have a way to order the entire assembly as 1 unit. This is one reason why the backhoe subframe is nice to have; the lower link arms cannot over travel and thus snap the (chintzy pot metal) stabilizers. Please let us know what you end up doing. If you find a viable alternative, I would replace mine.

I agree. They seem to be a rather cheap galvanized perhaps. I'm looking hard at the stabilworks.rocks for something stronger. Unfortunately he is a one man operation and seems to be very popular and is backed up with orders several months. I was hoping to avoid the dealer markup. Past experience was a rather high price tag. I'm going to call a couple of dealers today.

Have you tried TSC?
