PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The existing 358-2270 Bracket that is mounted to the rear of the foldable blade can crack and fail on certain D6N LGP Track-Type Tractors . Refer to component (1) on Image 1, 2 and 3 below for component location and failure examples.

This bracket that connects the Left Hand side Angling Cylinder to the blade has a sliding function that is basically used when putting the blade in the transportation position.

If the existing bracket fails, it must be replaced by a new improved design that will enhance the system durability.
