Possible 3ph problem

[Bluest]

It's hard to see as I'm just viewing on my phone, but it looks like you just need the arms for the right hand side which are readily available. You might want to get a full set so everything matches. Is the there some damage to the left hand side of the lower link assembly?

It's been beat up a bit, but most of it is still there. This came with a 4ft brush hog, the right side of it is still attached, the lynch pin is bent and I haven't got it out yet. The day after I got this I messed up my knee so all I've been able to do is look at it. My wife's calling it my latest 'yard art':laughing:
There's almost no information on this, all I have so far is a parts manual in japanese. (Anyone out there got a manual I could buy/copy?)
Your axle is quite a bit different from mine, but I noticed I had some pins just behind the wheels, I think these are for the sway links, but the old owner wasn't using them, he'd drilled out some anchor links and bolted them to the back of the transmission. Didn't hold up too well, both bolts are bent way over and I'm not looking forward to taking them out.
The chains are kind of pieced together out of different things he had laying around. Some of the links look pretty weak, so when I get back to working on it I'm going to check into a new set like you said. There was also another post about using twin clevis links to make easier length adjustments...(I've got some serious 'side-chew' on the tires, too). Also noticed your arms have a much longer straight section than mine, bet that helps!
Been enjoying all your posts, hope you get it running soon. Some great ideas you've got there!
So many things to play with!

bumpyrider, I notice from your picture you have pins up higher on the axle bullgear housing. I am wondering if those could be to fasten the sway chains to on the outside of the lower lift arms. Works much better when you can get them on the outside. this picture may not come through and not to plain but maybe you can see what I am talking about. traktorek Yanmar F145D 4×4 14KM jak kubota iseki « Kosiarka Traktorek, Traktorki Kosiarki - traktorki.com.pl

Thanks, winston. That's where I thought they should go, I was afraid those bolts would pull out and create a real mess.
My lower arms are different, they don't have the straight section coming off the mount, I don't think it gives it enough clearance. Both tires have some good chew marks on them.
I'm going to check TSC in town, I think they had some sway chains. Might be cheaper just to make 'em up, though...
Thanks again.

I would guess your trator must be pretty closely related to mine. Similar HP, similar age, maybe a touch newer. But as you say, your axle looks a lot different. Looks stronger than mine, which just has two exposed half shafts running out from the casing.

I would have prefered my stabiliser links to the outside too, but they just wouldnt work there. Fortunatley, most 3ph parts are uninversal and cheap, so it's easy to mess around to get it the way you want.

Please post about any work you do, with lots of photos, even if you think it's a fairly simple task. It's always interesting to see what solutions people find to problems.

Good news! With the arms spaced further apart they are now more or less parallel with the mower hooked up. This seems to have had a positive effect on the stability of the whole rig. I spent two hours mowing today and everything stayed straight and in alignment.

As is the way, fix one problem, find two others. I'll save those for a different thread...
