Diagram for attachemtn points?

[krystolo 504]

I'm adoring the new little tractor, but it seems she's had a rough go of it.  Many of the points for attaching blades and so forth have been sheared off.  The prior owner has been using bolts to hold the implements on, and I'm just not familiar enough to know what I'm looking at.  Is there a diagram that shows the various lift points and what they are for?

 

That rear belly grading blade is the bomb!

 

Oh, also, is it ok to powerwash the engine and hydraulics area?  Looks like there is a hydraulic fluid leak.

 

Thanks, everyone!

Hello @krystolo

Betting you shot those images with a recent iPhone.  The default image format (heic) is not one that this forum can display. You have to open the images in Preview then Export to JPEG and upload the JPEGs. We do want to see what you are seeing!

 

You can also do this:

Go to iOS Settings and swipe down to Camera. It's buried in the 6th block, the one that has Music at the top.

Tap Formats.

Tap Most Compatible to set the default photo format to JPG.

Sorry about that!

You should say what you are trying to attach, include model numbers if possible.

 

Some will use a power washer, I am not one of them.  Use Purple Power and a garden hose, a paint brush is helpful for thick stuff.  Do not let the detergent on for long or let it dry.

Wallowing out comes from friction without lubrication (and lots of usage) or misalignment.

On the left, having a bolt means that the bearing surface for both the lift arm and the lift bar is the threads of the bolt and not a smooth surface. That's why most of us use a pin with a cotter or "R" clip. To help with alignment, use washers to make sure the joint can rotate smoothly but has no other play.

On the right, it is correct to have the clevis with a pin and R-clip--this arrangement balances the force across the two sides of the clevis and centers it on the lift arm. Having the cable with clamps isn't uncommon (we already saw images of the other end of that cable and the broken arm on the hitch).

Should have added the both of these connections should get greased periodically!

 

I am curious bout the seemingly sawed off arm on the shaft just aft of the cable clamp in the right picture. Anyone know what that is?

Hope you don't want to run a mower deck to much. The photo on the right shows the lift link for the mower deck to be hacked off.

Your lift does not look modified.

[krystolo 504]

@gwest_ca  perfect!  this is exactly what I was looking for! 

Is this the same diagram for the C160?

Thank you!

Fortunately, we have another mower.  I can't figure out how one would replace that piece.  Any ideas?

As gwest said your Rockshaft item 7 on the diagram looks ok. It looks like your Mower Lift Bar item 14 is what’s cut off.

there are c-clips that hold the round bar inside the frame.  Pop those clips and with the help of removable bushings it’ll walk right out.
