Water pressure really low thismorn so must have a burst somewhere, but with as many puddles about it will be a job finding it [emoji849]

In cases like that, use Nordlock washers before using Loctite, they need allegedly 3 time the torque to slacken as were tightened too.Its a t2 6480, luckily they all came out okay. Dare say they must have slackened before they broke. Strangely had enough spares in toolbox. Put them in with locktite so hopefully won't slacken and break again.
I can see a thread next boxing day, "how the feck do I get these out"Locking washers might've been better, remember you might be in the sh!t next time if the studs ever shear again and locktited in.
I would ask my self ,why have they come slack ? , and work back to solve the issueLooks like one of the dowels and two of the bloody stupid little studs have been awol for a while.
To tight is bad for them same as to slackI would ask my self ,why have they come slack ? , and work back to solve the issue
Looks like you may have a oil leak going by that photo
l think i would undo them now before they brake again while there still in one pieceIts a t2 6480, luckily they all came out okay. Dare say they must have slackened before they broke. Strangely had enough spares in toolbox. Put them in with locktite so hopefully won't slacken and break again.
Yeah its the bedder tractor, doesn't get a lot of TLC. Need to get it and bedder in workshop on a wet day and go over it all. Slip clutch on pto needs adjusted. Its kicking in too hard which will be linked to them slackening I'm sure.Looks like you may have a oil leak going by that photo
A couple of hours on a little kuhn rake with a sticky pto shaft was enough to slacken mine. I may have, Err, locktited them in 3 years ago . It's also the bedder tractor, so has done many thousand pto starts since then.I would ask my self ,why have they come slack ? , and work back to solve the issue
We have T2 6480 on the bedder as well,you need a man with a laptop to soft start your PTO ,did ours years ago and is goodYeah its the bedder tractor, doesn't get a lot of TLC.

Do you know how to calibrate pto clutch on t2 6480?
