Hello,
New member hear and just purchased my first tractor for my 7 acres in Nebraska. It's being delivered next week. It's a 1999 4200 with FEL and 60" belly mower. Dealer didn't know much about it other than it had been sitting for a few years and it started up and everything seemed to operate fine. The one obvious issue he was able to point out was the rockshaft rod was broken. I have ordered a new rod, plate, nuts and bolts. Everything to replace what is obviously broken. (picture attached) I was just curious if that broken rod may be a sign to any of you that I need to check anything else out with the hydraulics back there or what would cause that rod to break? Is it a common thing?
I also have all fluids and filters ready to replace as soon as I get it. Anything particular I should know or look for as I go through that process?
Thanks!
