Heavy duty lift link pin

Recommended Posts

I have the heavy duty lift link in all of my 520's and this pin always seems to be worn.

 

You can buy them new from Toro but I am cheap so I made my own.

 

I can't duplicate the e-clip so I simply drill a hole and use a hairpin clip to secure it.

 

Actually works better because now removing this lift bar is tool free.

 

This is the original pin worn on the ends and a loose sloppy fit.

This is the new pin and the plans to make your own. I used Stainless steel because that is what I had.

Just curious, do you use a 60" deck on your 520?

Yes, I have a 60" deck on one of my 520's

I know that using the HD lift bar on smaller decks is likely not needed but it is what they came with.

I can always tell when a 520 has had a 60" deck used on it. Those decks are nice, mow well and are built like a battleship. It's they put more wear and tear on a tractor and are just plain hard on them.
