    Coleman axle seals

    These are different animal. They stretch and drop into a groove, not the normal press in fit. Single lip and quite narrow for the overall diameter. I haven't come across anything like them before. Jack

    Coleman axle seals

    Are the grease seals a standard part that might be available from bearing shops, or unique to Coleman? Mine are in reasonable shape but appear to have been installed with the lip facing the wrong way. I don’t want to risk removing them unless I know I can get replacements. Jack

    M604 front tyre size

    Thanks for all the assistance. I have 18.4 x 34(R1) on the rears. Looking at the parts book again it seems that this combination of 18.4 x 34 and 9.5 x 24 can be used with either ratio. Given the information about B/M referring to a special combination, I suspect the Australian importer would...

    M604 front tyre size

    I dropped the transfer case today and found I have the 19/49 pinion and output gear (in excellent condition). If my calculations are correct this ratio would drive the front wheels a little slower than the 20/48 combination. I’m now almost certain that the original 11.2s were the correct size...

    M604 front tyre size

    Brian Thanks, that’s very helpful. There were eight tractors with ‘80’ – B/M order numbers in that batch. Six of them with the same order number were shipped on the same day, January 22. The other two with individual order numbers were shipped in February and March (mine). I don’t know how...

    M604 front tyre size

    A follow-up to this earlier conversation. This week I received the build card from the Charles City Museum (mail to Australia has been very slow recently) but it really doesn’t tell me much at all. It shows 25 tractors serial numbers 51 to 74, all assembled on January 13. Mine was shipped on...

    M604 front tyre size

    Thanks for all the responses. I have found the answer - it was sitting in my parts book all along. Both 9.5s and 11.2s were available, each with their own transfer case ratio. The 9.5s had a 20 teeth pinion and a 48 teeth output gear while the 11.2s came with 19 and 49. I think it's almost...

    M604 front tyre size

    My 604 had 10/11.2 x 24 tyres fitted. They were an odd pair and made the tractor sit higher at the front than I thought it should. Before ordering new tyres recently I did several online searches and kept coming up with 9.5x24 as the correct size. I figured a previous owner had fitted the larger...

    G705 hydraulic oil filter

    There was a discussion here about 10 years ago that concluded hydraulic oil filters for the 705 were simply not available anywhere. I'm wondering if there has been any update since then? If I remember correctly, some owners had found filters that were very close, but not quite there. An external...

    Radiator gasket

    I've cut a gasket out of 1/8 rubberised cork. Does it seem to be the right thickness? The old gasket (not mine) was rubber, also about 1/8 thick and with lots of silicon, just the ordinary plumbing stuff. It sealed fine. This is the second time around. The first time I coated the rubberised cork...

    MM G 1950 I cannot find an oil filter for this machine

    Another M602 brake question

    Thanks MMDL. no, I didn't think to check the lash - my plan was to put everything back exactly as it had come out. I've now found some suitable paper that measures exactly 0.005, so should work out okay. Appreciate your advice. Jack

    Another M602 brake question

    I finally got the brake plates out with the oil seals and was surprised how thin the gaskets are. I measure them at 0.004 but expect they were 0.005 when new. I usually make my own gaskets and am not sure I'll be able to get paper that thin. I guess it's acceptable to use slightly thicker paper...

    M602/4 brakes

    Meant to say thanks for the advice, it was very helpful. Turned out to be a rather challenging job, though. Left side was pretty easy but the right tested my patience. I couldn't turn the pull rod using the outside double nuts, and the jam nut wouldn't budge either. Ended up soaking it for a few...
