And to clarify terms, it was a driven in spring pin, or slit(like a c)roll pin which failed, and I am replacing it with a kubota u-joint clevis pin, held with a washer and cotter pin.

Well, perhaps I shouldn't have said undersized- more like perfectly sized, but not a hammered in fit. I've been lucky twice. Doing the same thing for the third time and expecting a different result, no thanks. I think this will work. There are two u-joints on the drive shaft and one uses the...

The first time it failed, the kubota dealer fixed it, so I assume they used the correct metric split roll pin. Seems like a design flaw if it happens to others as well, seeing as it's failure can quickly take away 4wd on a steep slope. And the splines seemed adequately greased to allow fore/aft...

Thanks for the ideas. Daren, I'm from Peacham, over on the other side of VT. Yes, the driveline is splined Kubotasam. The pin is a spring pin, so it is quite tight when driven in, so maybe even just a slight play in the splines is enough to shear it. Maybe a slightly diameter smaller bolt would...

Hi guys, I have a recurring problem on my BX 2230 which is quite dangerous. For the second time, while mowing a steep slope(common here on Vermont hill farms) the pin holding the knuckle joint on the 4wd driveline shaft sheared or fell out, separating the driveline and causing the loss of the...
