Friction Disc

[BP in Mich]

Happy New Year to All!

Can you tell me what material the friction disc on the hydraulic lift control is made of? Took mine apart and it is gone.

In looking thru the forum (picture) it appears to be a cork material if so will cork gasket material work??

Really Really hate to have to pay $9.00 shipping for a 99 cent part I can make my self.

Pretty sure they are made of cork. Try it. Not much to loose, not like it's going to take hours and hours to replace it if it doesn't work.

Ya, it's cork.
Sure, make your own.
In a pinch, cork, rubber, very dense foam, all work

No CNH dealer nearby? They're $2 there. They look & feel like a cork composite. Just a bit more than 1/8" thick. Like HCooke said, if it doesn't work, it will take you 15 minutes to replace it.

Guess I'll Check at the new holland dealer on Mon. I'm going to have to buy some gasket material if they don't have it in stock.

Thanks!

They are made out of cork, you can use a sheet of cork gasket material to make a new one, Good luck , Kenny

I made one 5-6 yrs ago from cork arts and crafts material my wife bought at Wal-mart,or Michaels,I think.it was a little more than 1/8".I cut it to fit the old one,and it works better than the old one by far.It holds the touch control perfectly,and I made it because the stuff was there,and the whole package of 5 or 6 8"x8" pcs was about $2.50.---lha the cheap.

You could probably get by for awhile with one made from thin cardboard like a shoebox or cereal box.

Where?

It is cork , I was up at my property 16 miles from town , didn't want to run all the way in there , probably wouldn't find any thing there anyway, I had a pile of old asphalt shingles cut a piece out of one of them , works great. You can always find something to use. good luck.

Happy Tractoring

Had the wife get me some cork squares things from Michaels, cut one out and installed it, works great. See how long it lasts, got lots of extra for the same price New Holland wants for one disc and didn't have to drive near as far.

Thanks All

The Cork stuff is now $6.00 & the disc at New Holland is $5 something. I must be getting old, the price of things today drives me crazy!

Hi BP, made mine and my Dad"s from polycabonate (LEXAN) 3/16"" thick, just what i had an abundance of and gave it a shot. Scuff up both side"s to remove the shine. Worked great and that"s been over 10 year"s ago, still work"s as good as the day i put it on. HTH, Jay2NSC
