John deere 6900 rockshaft

[Wigeon]

Had old faithful 6900 on the spinner today, and the link arms are now all over the place - lifts one before the other (has done for a while but mush worse now). Anything other than right up and its seriously on the wonk. Is this the rockshaft gone?

If so, is it a job I can do (not that handy on spanners) or is it a dealer job? Could it just be bushes? I expect parts to be eye watering...

Many thanks.

Did one for a friend last summer. You'll have to change the rockshaft and the Two arms, lots of companies selling after market parts for this problem.. asked on here....and went for a kit from Nick Young tractor parts. Easy enough job, remove one side inner wing panel and maybe the rear wheel to get the cross shaft out and in. Be careful fitting the bushes, they are made of something similar to fiberglass.
