Dearborn/ Danuser F2 digger/auger parts

[farenhite]

Does anyone have the part numbers for the u-joints and ball joints (they attach the power head to the frame) for the Danuser F2 auger? I measured them but I'm unable to match them up with the manufacturers I have tried. Danuser wants to sell new arms etc. to bring the machine up to modern safety standards

Welcome to TBN. Here is my link to the parts book, but it isn't much help as the ball joints are obsolete. The cross kits may be available somewhere. Let us know the dimensions/type and we may be able to help.

Hi Tractor Tech, thank you for your reply and the copy of your parts manual. No matter where or how I searched I could not locate one. I attached a diagram with my measurements, they are close but not exact. Anyway:
1. Flat base butts up to housing 1.727 in
2. overall length, base to tip of bolt 3.560 in
3. diameter of bolt .618 in
4. inside diameter of housing 1.555 in
5. housing depth 1.543 in
I remember years ago being able to plug the numbers in a program and get a match, now I can't find the program. Any/ all help is greatly appreciated. Danuser wants to sell an upgrade kit for $650, if I'm going to do that I'll go to tractor supply and buy new

Hi Tractor tech. Looking at pictures of other diggers it appears what I'm looking for is a tie rod end. Mine are welded solid in the tube I ordered 2 moog es2011r ends and will make them work

That sounds like your best bet. I couldn't tell if they were welded or threaded. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help, but that is why Danuser wanted to convert. Pretty bulletproof gearbox though.

Thanks for your help, in other pics I have seen sometimes there is a pinch bolt on the end of the tube and others where it looks like a normal tie rod assembly. Anyway THANKS!
