8730 rear axle bolt lock

[Gerry Provencher]

Have the axle trumpet off my 8730 and the axle bolt lock is broken. New Holland does not offer the part anymore. The part looks fairly easy to replicate. Does anyone have a better fix to hold the bolt in place.

If it was me I'd prefer to find a good used one. That washer also acts as a thrust surface for the sun gear, so you don't want to use something soft.

Good point

It appears that Messick’s can get it, unless I’m looking at the wrong thing.
