I just got this tractor and I ran into my first problem. When testing the mower deck on the rear I had a leveling screw brake. So now no more on the back till I get it replaced. the one that was on there had JB weld and was not even adjustable. Looked like a rig job but o well. It broke on the left hand side and when looking online it looks like I need a housing, stud, and pin. What suprised me I was looking at the drawings for the rear and what I have on the right hand side is the same but the picture shows that I could have a hand cranked leveling screw. Is this something that I should have or should I just have two leveling screws that are the same on each side?

Also were is the best place to by these? I have the OEM part numbers 372972R1, 372971R11, and 523115R1.

Thanks
 
I don't know if you can buy these new. Maybe used. Both of mine broke (at different times) so I ground both ends to a point and rewelded. May be what you'll have to do. David.....
 

Thanks I will call and see if I can still get the parts. This is a link to the parts. #5,6, and 9.

The link didn't work but I know what is broken. The right side is adjustable from the factory. David...
 

Ok thanks. I have the part numbers for the adjustable side so I will order that and just swap them out since the none adjustable good one is on the right side.
 
veener: You can still buy the comparable parts for 130 and 140 hitches. I expect they are available for 240 and 340.
 

Thanks, This thig is a pain to find not sure why. I guess many of them gave out over many years so there is not a lot of used out there. :(
