LX2610 Hitch Lower Link Removal /w Backhoe subframe

[gerggg]

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a pickle here and I'm looking for some guidance.

Long story short I was interrupted during a rear implement changeover and forgot to reattach the top linkages which left them dangling on the ground. The tractor was then backed up over them which bent the stabilizers and the stabilizer brackets and they need to be replaced. The issue I'm having is that I also have the backhoe subframe, which prevents the lower link pin from sliding out to remove the stabilizer brackets.

For reference, the part that I need to remove is part 10 here. Based on what I can see, this part passes through M30101 which is the ROPS assembly.

I guess my question is, are the only two options to remove this to either remove the ROPS or remove the backhoe subframe? If so, could I do either of those myself? Or, is there another way that I'm overlooking?

Thanks!

I can’t see the whole thing in the pic, but it looks like the hitch receiver assembly is bolted on.

I think you can probably unbolt/loosen the hitch receiver assembly enough to lower it to clear the hoe mount and slide the pin out.

that would be an easier task than removing the ROPS or subframe.

I think you have to remove the bolt and nut that is on top at the centerline of the tractor near the hitch. They hold that pin in place. When removed the pin should be able to slide back and forth. But then you may have to remove one rear tire to get it all the way out.

If you are lucky the wheels may have some hole or slot that the pin could get through or the wheels are wide enough apart that it can slide out.

I had a slightly different model but once I loosed this nut/bolt and with a good soaking of some penetrating oil to help it slide....


I was able to slide that horizontal pin to the right far enough to to drop the left linkage. Then slide pin left to drop the right linkage. The subframe had a convenient hole in the exact right place for the pin to pass through and no need to remove wheel as pin was short enough before reached tire. Hope yours is the same.

You should be able to take the pins out of the telescoping
linkage. And NOT remove the cross bar.
