    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I like that idea too. If what I have decided to do (spot weld the pin only) ends up on working, then I will get some grade 8 bolts too. Thanks.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks a ton for posting this. It sorta confirms several things for me that I suspected but was not sure. I do have that bushing "5A" which really confirms the need for the A Frame to be able to move like you mentioned. But in doing so, it makes it...

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I am really wondering about the fact that the mower A frame arms are 1.3 while the mower support arms are only 0.9". Is this common?

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I am seriously thinking of spot welding the pins on. (I do use Loctite). I am going to look for hardened washers too.

    Mower lift pins always coming loose? Suggestions?

    I have not see any. I think with the two different size holes there is just too much play in there to stop it from wobbling. But maybe that is the intention of the design to allow movement. I might try to call Titan.....But It always helps to hear from real world end users than the factory...

    I think if the screen is quite heavy you will be fine. BUT.....I think you will get frustrated with the polycarbonate getting dull and hard to see through real fast. I would just use eye protection and the screen and no plastic with the screen. Hope that makes sense.

    I have a Titan 1206 Mower that I use with my JD 4520. I use Cat1 pins. The problem is that the lift pins on the mower are always coming loose. The mower holes are 0.9" and the Mower A fram arms are 1.3" I use a bushing in the A frame holes to reduce it down so the Cat1 pins will be tight...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Thanks, I was pretty sure that would do it, just ordered one. It is a good idea to check that steering cylinder and the pressure to it before making the big decision to have a JD dealer replace the Steering Control Unit. That $1800 cost is a big dent in my wallet....

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Update: I stopped in the JD dealer and talked with the guys at the service desk. They said it is not likely it is the Trans filter if the rest of the hydraulic system is operating correctly as it is all the same system. They said the two most likely culprits are: 1) The Steering Control...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    The oil and filter were changed 300 hours ago...so I will be doing that. But the "right" vs "left" has me baffled... Dealer wants over $1800 for new steering control unit. So Im hoping it wont be that...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    Well I looked under the hood this morning. There is no steering pump on the fan belt. Only the Alternator and the Water pump. I traced the steering cylinder hoses back to where they disappear in behind the engine j- basically behind where the circuit breaker panel is. There must be some sort...

    JD4520 Steering trouble when bucket is full.

    No. I read the manual and there is no mention of a separate power steering system reservoir. But I sure will look for one!!!! I should have thought of that!!! Also I do not note any belt noise but I sure will check it.
