- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
Backed tractor up to hook-up my brush hog inside my Shelter Logic building. In the excitement, and mostly dark poorly lit area I could not see that I had unscrewed the adjustable double clevis with crank handle type side link enough that when I went to lift the hog off the cinder blocks the threads stripped out and rendered the side link unuseable. I was able to remove it completely, put the female end in my shop vise and cross thread the male end threads into the female end enough to get the hog up and running.
Now I want to repair the threads so it can function as designed.
Wondering if anyone knows what Kioti uses for threads on these link arms? It looks like a fine machine thread, but what size and where might I find someone who could chase the threads with the correct size tap/die?
I suspect a machine shop might have the needed tools to do so. It isn't a big job, just one that would take the correct thread to get things set right.
Any ideas appreciated.
TIA,
CM
