Default Original Bobcat Question

I don't have the plans anymore and I don't think it was in the instruction manual, but does anyone have a picture or the measurements for making the main gear struts with the 3/16 wire. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick, the main gear struts were wire soldered into a brass bushing I have a set of the wire gear at my shop that I can measure. I replaced mine with trailing link struts though as the wire ones bent on grass far to easily. I'll get back to you later today if nobody else has.

Guess I have to do one picture at a time. Sorry to take a couple days. Couldn't find the old wire struts.

Yes it is bent. Grass fields and the wire gear do not get along good

Thank you. That is exactly what I needed to see.
