Rear axle bracket

[farmer 1,075]

Hello fans, I have a quick question,

my tiller is on/off the tractor quite a lot at the moment, no big deal as its easy to fit, the "problem" I have is locking the rear axle latches.

When I have the blade on, I use big R pins so no hassle.

With the tiller I have to use little bolts and wing nuts..takes me longer to do this job than hitch the whole thing up and do the tilling!

Anyone got a simple fix. :wh:

I have little clevis pins, that take small R pins at the end to hold them in., I think they are factory.

I had the little factory clevis pins w/ R clips. Lost them and found some pins in the hardware store. Not as heavy as OEM. But they get the job done. They are predrilled and need to be cut to length.

Yup they are factory. I put them on any tractor that either has a plow or tiller on it. In the long run it causes less hassle. It only took one time for me laying on a driveway full of snow trying to reattach the plow to the bracket. :thumbs:

I use 1/4" ball lock pins...get them at work, we use them on the airplanes...

Ball lock pins?

@lease educate me :wh:

Ball lock pins have a spring loaded ball at the end, kinda like a ratchet has to hold a socket on.

Aaaaaah...sounds like my kind of pin, only one hand needed.

Thanks very much I will try to track some down :thumbs:

Hello,

I just thought I'd put this up...my solution to this "problem". Its not rocket science I know but it works, pictures speak a thousand words..

Anyone wanting to use this idea,

Use an angle grinder,( pins are hardened)

Leave minimum gap in ring (just clears bracket)

Thread ring on horizontally to the ground from outside(nearest wheel)

I've made these for both my tractors, done some tilling and a couple of mows and haven't lost one yet, I'm not saying its impossible, but I think highly unlikely.

Installing with the tiller on is a doddle! :thumbs:

Farmer that's genus! Wow, I know what I'm doing next month...

I use the big "hairpins" on some of mine too, but I just push them in through the holes until they snap in place. :thumbs:

"Ball lock pins" can be purchased from McMaster Carr or Graingers....Maybe at a tractor supply store too.

I recently purchased some "R" pins that once you insert the ehd of the pin, you sort of twist it into place...these suckers really stay in place.

Farmer . I like the way you think. I use the. R clip because I feel more safe with it on, but my brorther is so cheap he just cut the two corner off of a metal clothes hanger about 4 inch each.
