MMM front pin.

[Downeaster]

I recently purchase a new BX2380 tractor. The dealership dropped it off at my home. Later I realized that one of the MMM pins was missing. The dealership over 40 miles away sent me a new pin, spring, and push in pin. Any tip to installing it. I am an 82 year old man with balance issures. I cannot crawl under without having days of balance issures due to a previous stroke. Do I have to hammer the pin in, or can it be squeezed tight and slid in. Will the main pin go in through the outer hole, then the spring, and pin or some other way. I would never ask this question if I didn't have the balance issue.

Call family, friends, neighbors. Have someone help you. Or call the dealer and explain that this is their issue to fix. Please send someone to fix it. You are 82!

I am not near you or I would come over and do it for you. Lots of these folks on here would.

Just guessing this is the pin and spring? 20 and 30?

Sending a pin would likely be reasonable for many customers, but it isn’t reasonable for an 82 year old with balance issues. Absolute worst case, they should send someone by to install it within a week or so when they have someone headed your general direction.

Admittedly, I was in a different business than equipment dealer, but I’ve lost count of how many times I drove way out of my way, stayed late, came in early, or whatever else was needed to take care of a customer who needed help (as opposed to one who was just being a PITA for no reason). If it was fixing something I messed up, didn’t matter if they were being unreasonable or not, it got fixed ASAP regardless whether it was convenient for me or not,

It’s a brand new tractor they assembled incorrectly. With all respect, you’re an old man. They should fix it. I can’t fathom why they didn’t already do that unless they were unaware of your balance issues or they’re not much of a dealership.

Not actually the same pin. It would be one of the two rear pins that you pull out and release to hook up the MMM. It's name according to Kubota is Front pin. I believe you are right the dealership has deliveries over in my area weekly. i believe I will call them and ask if they could stop by and install it. Thanks.

I have no family near by, but called the dealership, and they will stop by and install it. Thanks guys.

Make sure they hook up and level the mower for you also. You don't need to be crawling around doing that.

Why the switch and did you trade in the BX1880?

I know my uncle who's 90 yrs old has a BX.
He bought from Wallingford in Auburn.
He has them come in the fall to remove the mower deck so he can scoop snow and scrape the driveway in the winter and same with the spring , he calls them to come and reinstall the deck. Im sure they charge him but makes it much easier for him.

That is where I bought it about 2 weeks ago. I receive a pin and spring from them, but later decided to call, and see if someone would come over and install the pin. A maintenance man showed up yesterday, and it appears they had sent me the wrong pin. So he left and said he would come back with the right one and do the install. I'm in Waterford, and no condition to crawl under to install it. I would have dizzy spells for a week. This won't cost anything as it was a brand new purchase.

I bought my tractor cab from Wallingford. A father and son dealership. You can walk out back talk to the techs working on the equipment with questions. How do I do something. There always willing to give you a tip on how to do it the easiest.
