Jinma 224 Differential Lock lever snapped off.

[jbrukardt]

Its actually always been snapped off since i got the machine, and im finally tired of getting stuck due to no differential lock available.

I got a new lever from Tommy a while back, and i was actually able to back out the old snapped off lever very easily, surprised me. However... for the life of me, i cant figure out how the thread in the new lever. Its got a dog leg in it just before the base where it threads in. That dog leg prevents it from having enough clearance to spin and go into the shaft.

I must be missing something obvious?

What did Tommy suggest?

From what the drawings seem to show is the item that the lever screws into can be removed from tractor. It looks like there is a bolt/nut adjustment at the end of the shaft that is actually the diff lock. By the looks of it, maybe it should be taken apart, lubed up good, adjusted, and assembled???
