KC9KAS 4,741 #1 Posted December 17, 2014 Had a bad hydraulic hose on the GT-14....the tractor I have my snow-plow on. Got a new hose made and installed. I figured since I was at it, I would replace the filter, so I did. After I got fluid in it and warmed up some, I operated the lift(s) to make sure all was well. The plow didn't raise, so I figured I needed to adjust the lift chain. I grabbed another link and tried it again, and the cylinder moved but not the plow. I looked under the GT and saw that the lift chain was on the floor with a big chunk of steel attached to it. It broke off of the mid-rockshaft! Man was that thing hard to get out of the tractor. I have more nuts and bolts off of it now I may never get it put back together!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #4 Posted December 18, 2014 Been there I had to replace one of mine I think they started with the rockshaft and built a tractor around it. Been there done that, times two Did you have to remove all the bolts from the right hand side of the tunnel and spread it as well as remove the steering fan gear? I hope everything goes back in after the thing is welded back together!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremi3210 688 #5 Posted December 18, 2014 I took the left side (opposite side of the belt) apart to change mine. A lot of bolts but nothing was welded. I had to remove the fenders, left foot board, and the left side of the tunnel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
