He shows the 6mm bolts, the retaining pin, and the stuck/stripped bolt that turned it into a two-day job, plus dealer ($144) versus online ($45-65) pricing. Useful mainly for 1630 owners tackling this exact repair, not a general review.
An owner-operator documenting his own DIY repair on a tractor he purchased, made because he couldn't find another video showing this job.
The tilt and trim shock absorber blows out its seals, which lets the wheel fall and flop back and forth instead of holding its tilt position.
A 6mm tool for the retaining screws, a punch and hammer for the pin, and optionally a C-clamp or impact wrench to press a rusty pin out.
The dealer in Decatur, Texas charged $144 with tax ($129 plus tax), but the same part can be found online for $45 to $65 on eBay or Amazon.
Normally two to four hours, but it became a two-day job here due to a stuck, stripped Allen bolt that needed drilling and tapping.
