Had an exciting failure. I was chisel plowing with my 826 and a mounted 9-shank chisel. While moving from one section to another, the right adjustable link pulled apart! The upper part flipped up and hit the lift control quadrent and the chisel dropped on the ground on the right. Lots of fun. I know why. The threads had been rusted solid, probably for decades, and I recently got them working again. Internally, they were very corroded and in looking at it, there was so much material turned to rust that there wasn't enough solid stuff to hold the weight. Needless to say, I replaced both links.

Hi Jim, This does seem to be a weak point on the 06-66 series. We've torn up a few of those on the 966. Main thing is to keep them threaded in as far as practical. Late 66 series, 86 series, and 88 series had a better design. If this happens again, you might consider getting a pair of links for one of those tractors. They'll need to come from a model with a Cat. 2 hitch, such as 786, 886, 986, ect, and you'll need everything between the rockshaft and lift arm. I know it works because I robbed one off of the 3088 for the 966 until I could get a replacement once.

The neighbor had the wheel carrier bolts fail on a deere 60' field cultivator while going down the gravel road last spring. All the weight of that monster came down on the center section so it buried itself about 10" into the road. We had to dig down in the road to get jacks under the frame. The Cat Challenger pulling it stopped real fast. All of the shanks in the back two rows of the center section were straightened out. This outfit was only two years old. Jim

You make an interesting point on possilbe failure of "freed-up" threads we should all be watching for.

Glad you weren't on an asphalt highway in road gear!

Whoa! A chisel plow dropping onto asphalt at 20 mph. Best set of brakes you've ever tried.

Hey Andy, I bought a Case 10 ft. disk on rubber a few years back. Had no lift cylinder with it, just pinned up so it was real high off the road. Well we were pulling it about 40 mph when one of the hubs that I later found to be cracked decided to break. The wheel spit out from the back and went in the air about 40 ft bouncing down the other lane. Disc fell down on the blacktop and started throwing a curl into the other lane, thank goodness there was no traffic coming. Got it stopped and over in the ditch and later picked it up with a boom truck. We were hunting for the tire when the first car came along, state trooper, thought I was going to get a ticket but he said looks like you got enough trouble already. Could have been alot worse. Later PUTTER

They can actually be pretty understanding about that kind of thing can't they!

I was pulling a load of hay home fomr the auction block about 30 miles away. It was the seller's wagon, and it had I think 10 big squares on it. About 1/2 mile from home when all 6 studs snapped off of the hub on the rear right wheel.

The tire made it across the road in a neighbor's driveway. I ended up putting a nice mark in the blacktop that's still there. I just rplaced the studs and left a note to the other guy saying the bearings were shot and he needed to fix them.

Left my number too so he could call. Later he called and was more PO'd that we towed it 30 miles than he was about the studs snapping and the bearings being shot!!
