thomastractorsvc Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Was just checking out my handy work and found the track bar mount loose on the axle that I just redid the swing arm pin. I grabbed a wench and tightened up three of the four nuts as it appears one seems to be broken off. Just went through my TS442 and couldn't find anything. What do I need to do to replace the bolt/stud? if it is a stud can I extract it and replace? or not worry about it and just make sure the bracket stays tight?

thomastractorsvc Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well since nobody knew the answer to my question, I answered it myself. It has 3/4 course thread studs with 3/4 fine on the exposed side. My repair consisted of drilling a pilot than attempting to extract with easy out. On closer inspection there was actually 3 that were broken. I ended up pulling the side cover off since one of the broken bolts caught on the drill and spun in. I replaced with 3/4 grade 8 bolts 2 1/2 long with harden washers and red locktite. 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
