PTO adjustment t/buckles

[dschwandt]

Lousy rainy cold and windy day here today.
Good day for some shop time!
So, I cranked out a few turnbuckles for the PTO adjustment rods for NF's and early WF's
Still have to tap them yet but waiting on a LH 1/4 x 20 tap yet.

DAVE - I checked on-line, surprisingly Amazon isn't the low cost supplier, and Menards isn't either, Lowes has the 1/4" size for $2.58 each. Yes they do wear the 1/4"-20 threads, I've replaced several. Starting with a better material than aluminum would really help, a 12L14 or something. A steel one would last as long as a Cub Cadet would.

find a LH threaded nut to jam on both sides w/the RH nut, that will help, at least it does for me.

Both are included in ones I have for sale.
