I was out working on a friends WD-45 diesel tonite and he also has a WD-45 gasser. Both tractors had the lift arm latches on the wrong sides. The retaining setscrew/square head bolt ALWAYS goes on the outside. This makes sure the lift latches are "square" to the lifting links and makes life easier on all the components. This applies to all WD/WD45/D-14-15-17-19-190 tractors. Setscrews on the OUTSIDE !!!!

Thanks for clarifying. Ive seen a number of them installed as you'd noticed and I had been wondering lately which was the correct way

I just went and checked mine as I've had them on and off a couple times for repairs. They were on correctly. And yes you can see how that squares them up. Learn something every day!!

Most latches (not all) that I've seen have threads on both sides to put the bolt on either side.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

I think it was like this. the originals were 331862 and 331863, left and right, threads on one side. Then in numerical book those numbers say use 243996 which I think threads on both sides

Yes. There are some older ones that had only ONE hole, so there were lefts and rights early on. BUT regardless, people install them wrong !! Setscrew to the outside always.

Guess I've got my assignment for the day. Guess I've got 6 tractors to look at, though will probably look at more. Maybe I'll cover this in the video I'm going to shoot today?

My series 1 D 15 has both set screws on the outside. There are holes on the inside but they don't look threaded. Thanks

Story - We went to the auction of the AC plant in MKE. They found 2 tubs of snap couplers, one top, one bottom, one tub of springs, and one tub of rivets, hinge bolts. I bought one tub of the tops kind of by mistake. When checking out I went to the tubs and started taking top halves and mating with bottom halves , springs etc. Some dealers wife came running up and demanded I stop and put everything back - I told her the tops were of no use w/o bottom latches and we would split them. She was irate and called her hubby who was a dealer and he threatened to call security on me. I told him I had a better idea - he could have them all. He was clueless. SO, some where, probably in a new product some were by now melted down, are about 100 new snap coupler latches from the circa 1986 sale. I will not mention the old fellows name... a former Nauthurn dealer :-)
