Front end loader short pin/ rattle fix

[RichardAaronlx2610]

For those of you with the short pin problem, or just tired of that constant rattle all the time. This is a simple cheap easy fix. The first pic is a grommet from harbor freight out of their grommet kit. The last four pics are old radiator mounts. A friend of mine came up with that idea with stuff he had laying around. They can probably be found in the help isle at the local auto parts store.

Great idea. The rattle is annoying.

Whelp, I used option B.

I cut a piece of fuel line approx 1.5" long and slid that up the lock pin. Short enough to allow for removal but just long enough to stick up through the pin keepers. I don't have the short pin issue, just some rattle. That should take care of it for me.

that’s what i originally had on mine, but the piece of fuel line i had Was though to get off and on, but it surely works too! Post a pic for others to see!!

ok, well, not real exciting...

point was that the hose doesn't have to be removed to get the pin out...that's what I was going for. Just hope that it quiets it down a bit. Perhaps most of the noise is coming from the large pin rattling in the bore?
