In case anyone is following this thread or comes upon it I just wanted to share a little info regarding the swaged end of the drag link issue I was facing. I came up with a solution that worked really well. I took a thin cutoff wheel and sliced the drag link that was swaged (just like the other end ...

Yes.. I think so.. I will find some stock and get to work.
Thanks again for your help.

If you ever come to Costa Rica look me up. We can test that steering in some wild and remote places.

Hello Hugues, Yes the video link you shared is of the correct part. It does seem like there would be plenty of room for a lock nut if that drag link was to have a removable tie rod end. I think I may have to custom build something that will allow me to replace just the end when needed. Thanks so muc...

Good Day Hugues,

Thanks for the reply.. found this Part No: 7101433310

on the swissarmy website.

Hope that's enough detail. It's the steering drag link that has one removable tiered end and one that is not replaceable.

Anyone out there? Thought for sure someone would have something to suggest or a comment regarding the steering dragline being swaged on one end. I don't have access to the truck while in USA to see if one end is swaged because of a clearance issue. Could someone check that for me at at least. Perhap...

Hello Pinz People. I have a 710 in Central America and have had to replace the steering drag link a few times over the years because the tie rod end was too lose to pass the insanely strict annual safety inspections. Getting that long and heavy bar on a plane is a hassle at best, and a pain in the a...

RMel...Thanks for the reply. I do not recall seeing a copper crush gasket on the front diff lock indicator switch.. Just a taper that I assumed fit nicely to the housing. I'll have to double check that. I am not having any luck finding a replacement switch so will have to remove the original and see...

Hello all Pinz heads... I have a 710 with front diff lock indicator switch issues. I replaced with a used one from EI but it too was faulty. It was used and I knew I was taking my chances with it and it just didn't go my way this time around. I'll sort out another switch down the road if I can find ...

Hugues...Thanks for the response. Thats a good start...

cheers

Thanks John.. I am working on it. Didn't realize it did not attach.

Hello all Pinz people. I am hoping someone with a 710 soft top can help with something quite simple and will help me avoid a costly mistake. I am in need of some quick measurements of a 710. I am going to put lettering and logos on the side of my rig used for big cat research in Africa but I don't d...

Hello Hotzenplotz, I finally got around to getting a photo of my master to see what I have for valves that might be wrong. Any way to tell which way they are supposed to go? And should there be two stacked on each line. Assuming that is what those are in the photo I attached. [attachment=0]IMG_3559....

Hello....I am waking up the sleeping thread... Sorry for the silence. I am in the jungle in Costa Rica doing wildlife research and have limited access to internet connection. I failed at the inspection place so many times dealing with the brakes that I had to give up for now and only drive late at n...

Yes, this is my system. I had the same issues before the drums were machined (but that seemed to squeak me past the inspection last year) so I guess it added just enough friction to make the computer happy. I knew it would change the geometry when machining, but decided to take a chance as a last di...

Hi...Thanks folksnfor taking the time to help out...The schematic you show of the brakes is not my rig. I have one steel tube that feeds one of the front wheel cylinders and then a short steel tube that leaves that cylinder and goes to the second wheel cylinder of the same wheel. Brakes have been ad...
