I found a fix to this. You'll need to order the part in my pictures along with possibly a new bolt for the standard thread and not metric. My original threaded in no problem Anyway here we go...
Here is the part you'll need.
Next you'll need to grind off the peened end of the threaded stud...
Looks like there is a lot more thread deeper in the hole. I got a longer bolt and added a couple washers. Tightened it up to 100 ft.lbs. without issues but don't think i want to go to the 150. Any thoughts on going to the 150 ft. Lbs.? I dont think it is needed with the loctite.
Well it isn't broken off just no threads left in the casting of the tractor for the bolt to engage. I need to see if the bolt hole is deeper and maybe I can get away with a longer bolt. Really sucks as I don't have many hours on the tractor.
So I just came up on my 200 hour service and I start looking things over checking bolt tightness and other things. I noticed my rear backhoe subframe bolts look loose. I figure no big deal as I haven't had the hoe on in a while. I grab my torque wrench and set it to 60lbs. first working up to...
Not the prettiest thing but should work well. Made this cultivator in my spare time. I'm hoping to get the tines cut.
I can't decide if drilling in the spring steel would be better (easier) or cutting off the tip of the tine. I don't have torch tanks so it would be sawzall or cut off wheel.
So the wife and I signed on the line in January. The tractor has been great but not so much the finance company. When you get the "financing" it is a contract not a loan so when you want to pay down the principle they just apply it to your payments. So in reality you are still paying all of the...
So I was looking over the tractor after washing to see how much I missed and noticed the engine tag read >38 HP. So It got me thinking if that badge is correct wouldn't that mean the engine is over 38hp? It is the MT235e which I thought was the XG 3135 just a few things tweaked. Does that mean...
I bought a used 5' howse rotary mower. It had a shear pin style pto. Well the previous owner broke the pto guessing either hit something or the shaft wasn't working right. Whatever the issue he snapped it.
This is where my problems started. I removed the shear pin and tried to slide the shaft...
This small trench was to divert water away from the back of the house and down our hill. I would say this is roughly 200 yards long took about 2 hours including cutting out trees and pushing others over. Yes it was tight but wasn't horrible after I took the lower branches off the pines off with...
So I was running the backhoe today digging out some drainage and had a couple codes pop up and the yellow triangle with exclamation mark. The codes flashed quick and were off after 5 or 6 blinks. I was just about to raise the rpm before they flashed and once the rpm came up they disappeared.
I...
