The treads for the tilts on my 6c are stripped. Just wondering if anyone had a fix for this other than finding a new set of tilts
Get hydraulic cylinders to replace them.
Do you mean the threads on the end of the cylinder rod are stripped? Take a pic and post- much easier to advise when we can see the damage.
That's correct the top end of the threaded adjuster is stripped.
Curious how those threads would get stripped.
It's pretty common. Dirt gets into the threads and they wear over time.
Here are some pictures. The top of the turnbuckle threads are stripped and has been welded. The bottom one is still serviceable.
That's a tough one. I don't have good ideas for you if you're sure the threads are stripped. I have seen a turnbuckle welded up on an old rake to keep it from turning but there was also really no need to adjust it anyway since it was a rake.
bcguide. I'm in the same boat as you. Mine hasn't been welded so when I have a moment I'll pull mine apart and see what can be done.
Yes it is very common to see them welded. Just like to note there is a right hand and left hand tread on them
How can you tell they're stripped if they're internal?
You'll know as soon as you pick up the blade.
Here is what I came up with. The tilts are from a komatsu. I welded the komatsu to the 6c trunions on the blade and used the komatsu pin on on the side arms
