Name that part

Recommended Posts

Could someone please tell me what this part is and show me where it goes? I took it off my tractor 2 years ago when I started fixing it up and I can't remember where it goes.  (It's an age thing.)

Thanks.

Leave it off- but use common sense in how quickly you let out the clutch-Good Luck- Al

I have been working on my 416-8 and wondered what the heck it was. Will it hurt and anything if I don't replace it ?

This style is just an air shock. I washed the dust and dirt out of it and it works good. There is a spring in it so lubed with real light oil to stop rust. The oil does attract more dust but easy to wash out.

It's for a 1991 312-8 Classic.

The 1991 models show a high pressure gas shock. The photo you posted is the style shown for 1990.

That is one of the methods they used to try and prevent sudden engagement. It's just one of the many safety devices that were added as the years went by. I had a hydraulic damper on my 2005 and it drove me nuts. I can't recommend removing any safety device but on my tractors I just use the spring that has worked well for decades.:)
