Hey all,
I went out to do some work with my Industrial-600 backhoe attachment on my HD4 yesterday and when swinging the boom there was more play in the entire unit than I remembered there being before. I thought maybe the swing cylinder anchors needed tightening, but as it turned out, the one with the most play was shattered. I think what must have happened is some moisture got in and cracked it when it froze.
I have the parts manual for the backhoe, and it gives the part the name "ANCHOR, swing cylinder" with a part no 2017898, but no amount of searching online has come up with anything for me.
Besides what the book calls it (anchor) I have no idea if this kind of part might have another name. I'm a bit worried it may be too unique to find. As you can see from the photos, the lower 2/3rds of the part are one diamter, threaded on the bottom to fit a nut and lock washer (seen in the photo attached to the machine still), but then the upper third is a wider diameter and accommodates a threaded hole that a headless threaded hex nut goes in, which serves to spread the top out to make a tight fit when the anchor is in place.
Does anyone have any idea whether or not a part like this can be found to buy from somewhere? Or am I going to have to try to get this fabricated at a steel shop myself, or find some other workaround?
Cheers
