Hi All,
We have a kukoda scoop (22D). I have managed to damage / split the cap that retains the ball, that is mounted on the front axle / dolly - not great timing, leading into Christmas! :|
I am getting a new retaining cap machined, but I'm having trouble seeing how the shank on the ball is fastened to the front axle.
I have attached a picture from above and below the shank. Looking up from below the axle, there is a blind, threaded hole in the bottom of the shank. There is also a slight bevel at the end of the shank. Not sure if that could be the start of a thread?
If I can, we would like to remove the ball, rather than splitting the cap for assembly. Any insight / advice would be greatly appreciated! Looking at it, I can't see how it's being retained.
Would appreciate any help and advice!!
