I finally broke my first turnbuckle on my B7800. Inspecting the other side I see that it is also stretched and not long before they too break.

I have read where others have converted the weak turnbuckle style stabilizer setup on the B7800 to the Bar and Pin style on the 2910. I found that the parts are actually cheaper to purchase than the B7800 turnbuckles. The conversion cost me $160 from my local dealer. It only took me 10 minutes to swap out the parts. I was concerned that I would not be able to remove all the sway like I could with the turnbuckle setup but found that if I pushed and rocked the box scraper it could get a pin in the tighter hole and remove all the sway. I am very happy with the conversion.
