Massey 50

[grtrnd1]

I have an old 1958 Massey
Ferguson 50 high arch row crop
with a tricycle front. It has
some wobbling going on and I
noticed one day when I jacked up
the tractor that it had lots of
slop around the bottom of the
cast bolster. I have googled
myself into oblivion trying to
find any exploded views of this
front end and can't find
anything. When I rebuilt the
z134 I had taken the whole
entire front section off in one
chunk and never messed with it.
That was probably 10 years ago.
Anyone ever tore the front end
clear apart to replace bearings
and are parts readily available?
Thank you

You can use the on line parts books at this link to see the parts drawings and numbers to use for a search: https://na.apb.agcocorp.com/

Click "View Books" in the guest user area. Enter 50 In the model search Box on the next page. Click the Massey Ferguson box and the exact match boxes. You should see several books in the list. I think you want the one that says Harris and Massey.

it uses tapered roller bearings in the top and the bottom of the vertical spindle. bearings are available, but a little pricey
