Somebody has a Thread on here where they were having a similar problem?
Seems to me like they took it apart to analyze the individual parts and found the latches had a taper worn on them.
Sasquatch has an excellent YOUTUBE Video on the disassembly and repair of this part.
You may want to check it out.
Those are great videos. Thanks for sharing. I've watched the last video before about bevelingbthe clutch discs. I did when I had the pony off and it works really well. Only problem while waiting on new nut locks to come in I got impatient and put the pony back on first. Oops!!
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
