TCA 25900 line JD 8800/7500 fix



We have a John Deere 8800 that was here first during grow in . It has an issue that started last season with the TCA25900 line sheering off . Replaced it twice and decided to post it on Twitter to see if it has happened to some one else before . Only took a short time and Daniel L Barns  (@DannoDoes) had the answer I was looking for . Funny how you can trouble shoot and redesign things to prevent recurring problems and the fix was so easy . The problem is this machine has developed a slight flex in frame or something . ( we have 5 units with this line and this is the only one with an issue ) and is twisting the steel line back and forth ever so slightly till it snaps . It may take 6 months or 6 weeks . 

The Beast logging lots of hours for us (2149 hours )


I like them very comparable to the Toro 4300 I had at the last course . Smaller decks are great if you have lots of hilly areas.


Best way I found to get this nut off is to go in where line is and pull onto nut . 


Ratchet straps are great to pull decks away on work areas .t 


Some time you have to go to the past to fix the future . Lol anyone remember the LF 100 all hoses some 15 feet long I'm guessing. 


They are snapping directly after this nut 



New line going in 



Maybe get a long 90 here . There is enough room .It was close .



One of the old broken lines .

Easy fix . check for leaks . Also no fluid will come out of this section when changing over .
