John Deere Baker multivalve stud extension

pmarkel · Jan 4, 2019

Took the powrtol and Baker valve off my 60 to work on the rockshaft cylinder. While I was back there I noticed that I had stripped/destroyed the threaded portion of one of the extension studs. Any reason I can't just remove the extension and install a piece of all thread and cut off the excess once the powrtol is installed? Thanks,

Pete

Can't tell for sure but if the tractor has a threaded hole that goes into the hyd. oil some thread sealer will be needed to keep oil from leaking from the threads. If it is a blind hole than should not have that problem but I'd not want the rod to bottom out in the hole either.

All-thread will work fine. I think the all-thread needs to bottom out in order to tighten the nut.

If you want to keep it as it was originally set up, it would be a simple matter to make in the lathe.

Heck, post the dimensions and I'll make you one!

Bob, thanks for the offer and I can certainly post the dimensions but if a piece of all thread will work (maybe with a little Permatex and a copper washer under the nut?) I wouldn't want to make work for anyone else.

Incidentally, my other JD 60 has only all thread studs in the powrtrol--when I bought it at a sale someone had removed all the cap screws and replaced them with long studs so they could mount a toplink bracket on the powr-trol! This seemed like a engineering debacle waiting to happen to me so I took it off and put one of the aftermarket axle mount brackets on. I just didn't know if the additional baker valve behind my powrtrol would preclude me from using a simple stud for some reason. Thanks,

Pete
