Pulled the front axle support pin on 1958 Ford 600. It unscrews, using something in the slot on front to keep it from unscrewing. Only 1/8" screwed in back support and bearing support was on threaded portion., which wore 1/8" deep. Plan on brazen worn spot and file down and relocate wear area 180 degree to wear on steel again at bottom. Also plan on srewing in more so slot is inside and the weld tang on holder to keep pin from unscrewing. Believe this problem is in more tractors using those pins. They should have been 1/2"longer so bearing support was not on threaded portion.
Also found out the engineers put a screen on the standpipe, therby crud clollecting for life in the tank and not able to get to sediment bowl screen. I wonder how many more are like that. Shine a light in the tank filler and you can see this screen/
