Need Front Axle Support for D17

[Brokengun]

I realized my Front Axle Casting (Bolster) Support is broken out the top. Do any of you Know of a salvage yard that might have a good one?

Mine is worn pretty bad and I dont know about repairing it. So I want an option.

I'm having trouble getting into the AGCO parts book for a number; so any one Know the Correct number for the Front axle support.

My Axle pivot pin is badly worn but I will be making that myself.

Thank You

I know they're some earlier posts of people repairing their Front Axle support.

Do any of you remember how you repaired it ?

What types of weld repair did you use and did it hold.

You can check with PartsASAP, parent company of YT. I think they have some salvage yards in your part of the country.

A picture of your support's damage may help with repair ideas. If it is just worn a machine shop could bore the hole oversize and bush it back to standard. Not sure if the early ones used a bushing, but the parts book shows a bushing (70233368) for that location.

You will have to repair yours or buy a used one. There are none available new anymore.

No. I am in NY, but I know of someone not too far away, in PA, who has parts D17's. I'm sure there's something closer to you.

My Support is completely Broken out at the bushing hole. It is U shaped. There is nothing to bore out and weld.

I have been thinking of different options all stinking Day but haven't came up with a good one yet.

My problem is I am concerned about the type of material the Front bolster Axle Support is made from. For some reason I am thinking its a cast steel; and not a cast iron.

I have made the front axle pin and replaced it on a D19 about 20 years ago; but on that tractor the front bolster Axle Support was in excellent shape.

Have you called any salvage yards yet? Calling is the best way; in general, most do not keep all their salvage inventory listed on their websites salvage yards.
