dandan111 31 #1 Posted March 24, 2010 I have a clevis hitch kit that I bought a year or so ago. I decided to install it and ran into problems with the bushings for the pivit under the seat. One went on real tight tapping it with a wood handle and the other broke when tapping it with a socket. I hope the toro dealership can order me a new one. My question is should these bushings be loose on the pivit bar and the mounting holes? Being a new hitch maybe I need to sand it a little to loosen things up? Seems way to tight to me.

sawhorse 0 #3 Posted March 24, 2010 It has been a few years since I installed my new clevis hitch kit on my 310-8, but I clearly remember that the parts that fit into the seat support needed some fitting. I used sandpaper on the steel rockshaft and on the bushing cutouts in order to fit the stuff. Yep sanding will work just test it so you don't sand too far.

dandan111 31 #4 Posted March 24, 2010 Thank you for the reasurance. I thought nice and snug would be good,but this is way to tight. I just hope the bushings are still able to be ordered seperate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwgdog66 23 #7 Posted March 25, 2010 My brother ran into this also when he put the kit on his 2005 Classic GT (315-8). He had to take some emery cloth to some of the new painted parts to get them to fit proper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
