Disc Axle Brackets

April 1, 2010

The brackets that hold the wheel axle to the disc frame were in disrepair. Each of four bracket sets have a upper and lower section that lets the axles swivel as the disc was raised and lowered. The existing brackets on the disc are not listed in the parts catalog I have, but are listed as valid parts for the disc at the dealers; go figure.  Here is the upper bracket of one I removed; (the lower bracket had gone missing):

In my search to replace the above “old” bracket (“Old” in the sense it was an old piece of iron on my machine–it may well be a “upgrade” from the original) I found availability scarce and expensive. So I went back to the part numbers used per my parts catalog and obtained those parts to replace all four bracket sets:

Will get these on the disc over the Easter break!
