    Ford 3000 Brake Failure

    I assume when they machined the housing out for the seal it would stop at that point. Drive it in till it seats. If in doubt measure it up. The garter spring on the oil side of the oil seal, I pack it with grease that keeps it from jumping out while driving the seal in. I am thinking before you...

    "Air Cannon" equivalent for small tires.

    Maybe this will help ya the next time. I keep a bucket of different length 2X4's. I wedge the new tire open then place it in the sun are near a heat source. Most of the time this opens the tore up enoufh it beads up without a problem. In the last few weeks I built a small tire changer I been to...

    New crank pulley from Steiner muucchh too tight, won't go on 1941 Ford 9n on initial try

    I’m working on a bota installing rear axle seals every video skips a procedure that I would like to know how they defeated the lock on the axle nut. I have my doubts she aligned the keyway but maybe her luck is that good. The U is what she called a Knoch : ). In theory you should never drive a...

    New crank pulley from Steiner muucchh too tight, won't go on 1941 Ford 9n on initial try

    I have had good luck aligning the key to pully, putting a slight tapper on the U slot on the pully and using a Harmonic balancer installer to press the pully on. Its a common process in my world other than normally I have a key to get it started in alignment and keep it aligned. I would have...

    Ford 3000 Brake Failure

    Are you sure the bearing has not already bottomed out on the axle?. There will be quite a bit of clear area between the bearing and race that will come together once you install the assembly into the axle housing. I presume we are supposed to apply force to the inner race; YES While we are...

    L4200 rear pto seal

    I need to replace the PTO seal. My question: do you remove the bolts on the rear PTO cover and just pull the shaft out the rear of the tractor. I am doing rear axle seals. I have drained the fluid. It's a 1996 L4200 GST.

    I would not get too greedy with the grease and use a good high temperature wheel bearing grease. More is not always better.

    Ford 3000 Brake Failure

    Enjoy good brakes on your tractor, life will be good. I got to have one of those wrenches : ) This set up is about the same as on a 9n/2N owners are always saying the brakes are no good. Its because the hack it and don’t replace the outer seal. [h1]

    Ford 3000 Brake Failure

    I’m not sure what you are trying to sale If you believe everything you have posted my recommendation would be to use the best wheel bearing grease money can buy. We wouldn’t want that cheap grease to cook up would we. One drop of grease will ruin the job, any seal that has been in service 30...

    Avery issue.

    I don’t know what insert you would need. This is the most popular there are no telling how many of this type I have used and never had a problem. Make sure it’s a steel insert. Piston down far enough the tap will not hit it Tap and blow out then crank it up with the spark plug out life will be...

    I have Norco and BatteryMINDer Plus, I prefer Norco. I hardwire all of mine to the system are battery. I had corrosion issues on a few that I just used the clamps straight to the battery that came with the charger. That issue may have been something else but all I hardwired in have never had...

    Ford 3000 Brake Failure

    I made it. I said the beairng came off easy I spec you cound invert it bang the end of the axle on a piece of wood the weight of the hub may just drive the bearing off, no press needed. That would be for axles that use a nut for those with a srink collar you would need a tool and press. YMMV
