Hi Folks,
On my 2004 B7510 HST, the connection between the knuckle arm and the drag link is very sloppy. The drag link is sort of like the pitman arm on a car. The Knuckle arm comes from the steering mechanism to turn the front wheels. I have a couple of questions please:
1. Would you expect this linkage to be loose with a tractor with only 350 hours?
2. Is this a link that is at all prone to breaking when worn? I'm about to put chains on my front tires as I've been having problems with the front wheels skittering sideways when my snow plow is at an angle. Chains will put a bit more stress on this linkage and I'd hate to cause breakage in the middle of the winter and getting stuck while plowing during a storm.
Thanks all!
