Can anyone identify this part and explain what it does? I can only best describe it as a cotter pin. Looks like a cotter pin that is stuck through the transmission body from the bottom with only the "loop" sticking out. I noticed it yesterday while under the tractor zip tying some wires up. I had been mowing and it had dust stuck to it like it was wet. When I wiped it clean I found that it was loose and would spin in a complete circle. I checked a neighbors tractor that is the same as mine and this piece was "tight" and did not move. I wiped mine clean and tapped it back tight. By the way, this is on a John Deere 5105. Piece is most easily observed by looking under the tractor from the right hand side and is just behind the oil pan and brake pedals. I have tried to find on the Deere parts site but can't seem to pin point it.
