How not to treat a stabilizer arm:

third party image

Was hogging yesterday and went through some twigs and then heard a hellish BUNG, BUNG, BUNG...
hit the clutch and bunging slowed with the RPMs of the hog. Looked beck and see this getting hit everytime the blades came around. Apparently the twigs pulled the lynch pin under the axel. Bar hit the ground and bent right around under the hog, and as you can see by the pictures, has been eaten. Not even a nick in the blades! From now on I will use a bolt with 2 nyloc nuts, one on either side of the post instead of cheesy lynch pins...

If you will use the big hairpin type lynch pins and drive them in to the looped end past the place they are designed to stop you will never loose another one.

I only use the flip over ring type on the top link. Never on the lift arms or the stabilizer arms.

Wow, Luckily you didn't suffer any injury. About 20+ years ago I unknowingly mowed over a buried piece of metal (a buried shopping cart!), the blades lopped off a chunk of metal which somehow got past the guard and hit me in the back! From then on I installed a piece of plywood for a back protector! Then there was those underground bees nests..... :-(

I have a high backed aftermarket seat on the 8N.
And I wear my woodcutting hardhat, 2 shirts, canvas pants, and safety glasses with the hardhat visor down....and I have an ORC :-)

Thought I was as safe as possible. Just goes to show you that there is always something to watch out for...

Don't get me started on them yeller jackets, them are tuff onery bugs. I usually take care of those in trees with a 12guage and some 7 1/2 shot. One time I had some dug in in the dirt piles from my pond digging job, I fought them things for over three weeks, they was dug in good with a tunnel complex that the V.C. would be proud of, I dumped in over 10 gals of my homemade napalm into their tunnels and made the ground shake and still did;nt get them.Had a J.D. crawler loader at the time, would make a run at their holes in third gear and make a quick gouge with the bucket and go back with the napalm and the 12 guage. I finally turned up the right part of their tunnel after three weeks of this foolishness, found their nest, blew it to pieces with 12 guage, and burnt the remains with homemade napalm. I thought about a monument to commemerate the battle as they were worthy opponents.

DL-
Home-made Napalm? I make it with flour, gas and diesel. Used to shoot it out of a 3" galvy pipe like a cannon. Worked great!

your lynch pin holes are lined up horizontally like so they're eazy to install. If'n the pin holes were vertically, the foward movement of the tractor could not slip the pin outta the hole.

I change implements quite frequently so dealing with bailing wire or bent nails or other more permanent methods of security would be a PITA. But do what ever makes you feel safer..... ..Dell, the mousetrapped safety preacher

I installed the pins on the brackets so that I could barely get the lynch pins passed the axel from the top down through the holes. 'Thought I was safe that way....Not....

Hey Dell

Big difference between safety wire security and bailing wire work. Drill a couple of one sixteenth holes in the hair pin; run a piece of wire to secure it and twist it with safety wire pliers. If it is a spring pin drill one hole in the shaft and wire it to the bale. When it is time to take it off just cut the wire but pick up the pieces so it doesn't become a missle.

Your mileage may vary

Quicker and easier than bolts and double nuts would be to get yourself a set of safety wire pliers and some wire. Drill a couple of holes if you don't have a good place to secure it.

If it works on aircraft it ought to be good enough for a fifty year old tractor.

You betcha, I were a UH-1 crew cheif many moons ago, just about every nut and bolt on the helicopter was saftey-wired, you did'nt want pieces falling off while flying. Sure wish I could find a good pair of duckbill pliers like those I used back then.

The spring loaded type we used in the Navy in the seventies are available from Harbor Freight. Stand by to get pencil whipped on shipping and handling but the item itself is like fifteen buckos.

Hey Salmoneye,
I've got one that looks just like yours. I wire mine now. Once through the loop and around the pin. Hasn't happened since. It will sure wake you up won't it?

Still makes me laugh. When I hit the clutch and spun around to look, I fully expected to see one of my ex's with a large caliber automatic weapon. (-;

I thought all your ex's were in Texas, Salmoneye. I found the half-cab to my Dads jeep last summer with my brush-hog. I knew right away that it were'nt no black-berry.
