JD 7400 oil pan whoos

 One of the 7400 are used for cart path edges and sees alot of wear and deck angles.

My logic is to sacrifice one unit to save the rest and saves use countless man hours .

over the seasons its been barely hitting the oil pan.

Finaly it punchered a hole .

managed to beat the hole closed enough to add oil and get it to the shop.

I'd say the easist oil pan I ever replaced.

Not an issue at any other course ,I'm going to do a little trimming and rounding of sharp edges  on rear deck.

Like so.

Should be enough to solve our issue.

Ready to battle the next round of cart path edging.

Toro 5800 steering ram temperary repair

Ouch !!! It happens  

Simple repair right ?

Sooooo

No part available in Canada

Best part is they can't even give us an ETA.

Not good the beast is out near daily logging in many hours.

Not having it going isn't an option. 

Sign of the times overpricing on parts if you can even get them. 

Be carefull out there if a unit goes down it may be down for the season. 

Touched a rock.

Probably had a crack in it and finally gave away . 

So I ground both ends down to near a point and welded it in then sleeved it with a grade 8 nut.

Will it hold? 

Who knows I'm out of options.

Well I made it back to the shop. Will see how long it lasts .

update later on.

Holding for now, they finished the greens

And Tees done today 

John Deere 2500 E traction pedal bearings 2015

hours 3500 + -

If you keep the gear long enough these will go.

Problem was reverse started to decline over time to a point where it was getting a bit annoying.

The reverse rides of the forward pedal via a small bearing. AM10726 and the rest of the assembly has 4 more bearings AM 123565.

Nice little machine

 

removing reels make the job go faster. 

Then remove this bracket.

These bolts will drop out opening in frame.

On reassembling tighten this bolt up last , the hole is slotted for na better fit.

Remove both pedals.

When assembling center pedal in opening before tightening.

Traction linkage remove next.

Bent needle nose pliers helps get those rue clips off.

Remove the bearing plate shaft holder bolts. 

Might need a helper wrench to crack them loose.

More Rue clips on end of shafts.

You can see a notch out area ( left front in pick) so it can drop forward on that side to slide it all out.

Install the new bearings.

Don't hammer what looks like a sleeve to get bearing out ,It's part of the casting.

This style chisel work ok to remove them.

A few pics of old bearings 

New reversing bearing.

Also save these washers for assembling.

Wasn't nmuch left to old one.

The other unit was pretty much gone.

Another pic of casting lip.

A helper wrench to snug them up good .

A few more pics above.

reasemble in reverse order . 

Feel and work like new.

Had to adjust the park brake on one of them . 

John Deere 855D Park Brake clutch pac install

Easy to replace.

Hrs. 1878 on this unit .

I did a few years ago adjusted cable to get a little more life out of them.

That was a big job and hoped cable was streatched enough to not have to readjust.

It's called a wet clutch used to lock transmission for park . 

As with most golf equipment .... not cheap .

Nice kit .

You may or may not need the seal kit. 

Mine tore the gasket a bit so was glad I had ordered it now.

Vent tube was pretty brittle so I cut it back to install it later.

Remove the 2 large 3/4"bolts.

clean work area and part your working on and I also tied the mud flap out of my way.

T30 bolts removed.

There are 3 tabs to twist the cover off. 

Easily seprated.

Brake clutch pac, also new pins in kit.

Layered with metal first and last.

Bearing looks great.

It was quick work to clean up cover.

Replace seal and o ring from seal kit.

Old clutch pac didn't look to worn out.

Looks are deceiving.

Put a little grease on seal and o ring.

Install all bolts finger tight and pre fit it on splined shaft to line up clutch splines.

Carefully removed and tighten up.

Carefully they are not that tight.I'd be guessing 20 in. lbs 

would be plenty.

If there is an issue lining it up you can also rock the shaft back and forth.

Install the bolts don't over do it it is aluminium.

Adding JD 20 to clutch pac through vent hole till it weeps out lower port. 

Do it slowly or it might just go in and right out . 

 

Reinstalled vent. 

Park brake working normal again with only a half pull up .
