    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    In talking with the Ridenours who specialize in "L" tractors, I think that the shoulder bushing on top of the steering tube is fine as well as the sleeve bushing on the bottom of the steering tube. My only issue is the cup bearing (not actually a bearing) on the bottom of the steering tube. The...

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I have the parts breakdown but the breakdown and list of parts does not show good drawings of the parts and does not show the order of where they go on the spindle. My tractor had been partially taken apart by the former owner and parts were removed that I do not have. I was hoping there was a...

    Thanks for the idea. I am making a brass thrust washer from some 20 gauge brass plate. Da

    John Deere L Fan and Pulley Assembly

    I am buying some brass plate and will make a brass washer with tabs like what was originally in the assembly. Thanks for the idea! Dan

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I have been able to talk both spindles apart. One side had three spacer washers and the other side had none. Is there a diagram showing the order of placement for the dust/felt seal, sealing washer, spacer washers? Thanks, Dan

    John Deere L Fan and Pulley Assembly

    The two photos below depict the thrust washer that goes on the fan shaft. The tabs are bent to go into one of the pulleys on the shaft. Dan

    John Deere L Fan and Pulley Assembly

    I have been asking everyone selling JD L parts if they know how I can get a thrust washer for the fan assembly. No one has one. I would have to purchase a whole new fan assembly which would have the thrust washer as part of it. The question I have is if the thrust washer is necesssary and if...

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    The L has a bushing at the top with a big shoulder and the bushing at the bottom does not have a shoulder. It is 1” in length. I have not taken mine out yet but did measure it. I have attached a photo of the spindle and the top bushing. Dan

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I checked with The Ridenours and found out that they have the bushings made for the L tractors. Currently they do not have any in stock and are waiting for their machinist to finish a new batch. I am to call back in a few weeks and see if the new ones have arrived yet. I went by my local John...

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I am waiting for the Ridenours to respond. At this point, no one seems to have the bushings for the L steering spindles. I have one side of mine apart and the top bushing is definitely worn and wallowed out which caused a lot of "slop". The bottom bushing is not out yet but appears to be...

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I cannot find a remnant of any bearing. I only see worn bushings top and bottom. Where would the bearings be located? Dan

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    Wheee does the thrust bearing go? I cannot find any remnants of a bearing at all. I just see bushings top and bottom. Dan

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    If you have time to look up part numbers, I would greatly appreciate it. I cannot seem to match any L part numbers to M part numbers.

    Removing a Spindle from a John Deere L Front Axle

    I will try looking for the M parts this morning. I have the L part numbers from the L JD book. Thank you.
