Turn-Buckle Brace
The brace consists of a screw (1),
guide member (2), slide block (3)
and gib-and-cotter (4).
The front end of the brace fitted with
a spherical joint is connected to the
brace bracket (12) through a pin, see
page 158, while the rear end – to the
lug (8) of the lower link (7).
There is a through-slot on the side
surface of the guide member (2) and
a through hole in the plane normal
thereto.
The slide block is made with two
through-holes in one and the same
plane.
One of the two holes of the slide
block is used to rigidly connect it with
the guiding gib-and-cotter (4) when
the tractor is used in a transport mis-
sion, cultivation and the like. The
other hole serves to connect the slid-
ing block with the guiding member
when the gib-and-cotter is installed in
the through slot when the tractor is
running with a plough.
If necessary, slightly readjust of the
turn-buckle brace length to install the
gib-and-cotter into the guiding mem-
ber slot and the sliding block hole by
rotating the sliding block in one or
other direction, with the sliding block
preliminary disconnected from the
lower link.
In case of tractor operation with a
plough make use of the guiding
member through-slot to check
plough’s horizontal displacement. To
re-adjust the turn-buckle brace for fit-
ting them in the slots, remove the
gib-and-cotter, turn the guiding
member through 90° and insert the
gib-and-cotter into the sliding block
hole through the slot on the guiding
member.
IMPORTANT! To ensure normal operation
of the tractor-and-plough combination, the
gib-and-cotter in the right-hand and left-
hand braces should be in the middle of the
slot in the guiding member.
