Torino 14 #1 Posted January 12, 2013 C-175. As you can see the hitch assembly is out of the hole. This has happened twice. Lucky it did not pierce the tank.Could this be the wrong assembly for this tractor? I thought about putting a brace across the seat post to keep it in. Any ideas?

varosd 1,185 #2 Posted January 12, 2013 Egads! not sure, but is there supposed to be another clamp on the other side of the fender support?? looks like there is a wear mark on the area that pulled out?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,578 #3 Posted January 13, 2013 might need more spacer washers between the clips and the gas tank bracket, spread it out, between that and the bolts that hold the fender pan on it should not move eric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #4 Posted January 13, 2013 Are the bushings worn on the rocker shaft & have the holes in the fender support elongated? If everything looks good & you put it back together, you might try cheating the fender supports in so you'll have a tighter fit of the rock shaft. Does the lift move free, any binding?

Don1977 604 #5 Posted January 13, 2013 Can't tell if the support bracket has spread out. Did this tractor have a plastic rear fender. You may need to get a metal rear fender if the plastic one is all busted. The 1978 and 79 c-series will work or the 300, 400 or 500 series. Once it's pulled back in place the only other thing beside a metal fender is you can do is make thin metal plate with matching holes to mount the seat pan and seat and to hold the bracket together. You are missing the trans dip stick you will need a 2" hole for that. It doesn't look like the holes in the bracket are worn too bad but if it is it will need welding and filing back to fit the bushings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torino 14 #6 Posted January 14, 2013 I ending up installing "cross bars" on the seat brackets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torino 14 #7 Posted January 14, 2013 Is this a common problem with the plastic fenders? Seems that the metal ones would keep the seat supports from moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,518 #8 Posted January 19, 2013 Never had a plastic fender Horse but, can see what could happen. Ouch! Your fix looks OK. I would get a dipstick for the tranny while you're fixin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
