JD LX5 Sheer Pin

[mapmgr]

Hi everyone,

Novice here, so dumb question(s)...

I have a JD LX5 rotary cutter. It appears that the sheer pin did what it was supposed to do when the cutter grounded out.

I went to a local JD dealer (small stuff only-- garden tractors, gators) and they didn't carry the pin. It was suggested that I go to Lumber 2 to try to pick one up. Went there, and couldn't find anything that specifically said sheer pin.

Is this the same as a cleavis bolt with cotter pin? If so, what size, or do I need to travel a bit to the JD with larger stuff or some place else?

Also, do I ever need to change the oil in the gear box?

Thanks.

A shear pin, is a bolt. I have a spare for my lx5, but I can't remember what size it is. It seems that it is metric equivalent to a grade 5 bolt. JC

The size is M10x80. JC
