1020 3 point lever

[Zhaque]

It seems I broke the weld on the shaft that controls lifting/lowering the arms. How can I fix this, and how hard a fix is it? Looks like I am going to need parts. Also, why did this happen ?

 

[Jim.ME]

It happened due flexing over time and the weld broke.

I would drill a hole in the plate where the weld to the rod failed. Fit the rod and hole such that the lever fits proper along the side of the quadrant and the plug weld the plate and rod together through the hole.

There's a quadrant listed on eBay as well.

Can you give me a link to the quadrant please

If reattaching handle to rod & locating correct location of handle on the rod will be a problem. Rod is part # AT19838. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/3172/referrer/navigation/pgId/1331332

Wrong part. His lever broke off the rod that passes through the quadrant to the rockshaft control valve. His quadrant is there and intact.

Does the shaft come with the handle attached?

 

[Tx Jim]

Handle is bolted to shaft & each part is a separate part #

 

[Zhaque]

How hard is it to take out the shaft and put back in ?

 

[Tx Jim]

One must R&R rockshaft housing then it relatively easy to R&R control shaft. It's not too difficult a task for a mechanically inclined person.

ok thanks, I'll try to find some instructions

Guessing this the North American 1020 the service manual is JD publication SM2071. it should have the info you need. Do you have that manual?

Rockshaft can be R&R by removing all the bolts securing housing to trans case, remove scv return hose from scv if applicable. Remove roll pin securing old control rod """paying special attention via taking photographs of linkage location""". Then R&R rod with control handle in correct orientation & install roll-pin securing control rod in linkage. When reinstalling housing be sure to install new quad ring part # T17882 item 1 shown in 2nd photo at RH front side of RS housing/new RS gasket part #T21641. Be sure when reinstalling RS housing to get cam follower the shaded part in 1st photo below in correct location in RS control linkage. I would replace rockshaft control valve seals kit part # #AR92385 while I had housing removed.
