In need of some help

Inkmann · Dec 13, 2013

I was brooming the driveway with my 52" Quick Hitch Broom and something happened.
The broom has been doing a great job cleaning up the little storms.
Something happened and it's more than a shear pin.
Looks like a broken shaft maybe?
I can't find the parts diagram online

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
John

Is this a Deere or Frontier broom?

I can't tell what's broken from the pictures (pics aren't always worth a thousand words!)
What exactly, are those pictures showing? The one on the right appears to show a pin going through a bushing of some sort. Is there a roll pin missing?

It looks like you lost bolt 7 (M6 x 55) and nut 9 (M6) To find the drawing go to JDparts, then parts catalog for 2305, then attachments, 52 &60 inch broom, then sectional index, then 52 inch broom, then broom

After further inspection I broke the shaft the tube part #16

Anyone have any tips on this fix?

If you can figure out how the #16 tube is held into #14, I think you can figure out how to remove it. Do you know if #16 rotates? The wheel affixed to #14 appears to be chain driven. If #16 is bolted in, should be no problem, but look for a key (if #16 does rotate).
If #14 and #16 are a welded assembly...well, that's probably going to be expensive.
