Oliver 1365 front axles

[Iniles]

Looking for information on how to get the front axle out. I am at the u joints and have removed the set sçrew from the axle housing. Am I missing something?

Are you familiar with using agcopartsbooks dot com? You can find a schematic on there.

Yes looked at the brake down. It's a little confusing. Is there a clip inside the housing. This is on a 1365.

I'm with you on the confusion. The section on the axles shows two snap rings, but they appear to hold the bearings in. Do you have those out? I went to differential too in the parts book. That doesn't show anything in the way of snap rings or anything either. I've had both planetaries off mine, but never went any deeper than that.

Too bad Mitch isn't on here, he's been all the way in to his.

I went all the way to the u joints. The end of the axle got a little worn because the bushing was cooked. I could not get the axle out so I split the u joint and had it turned and a bushing made. Got the u joint back together and it's like new back to the u joints. I need to do the other side and if the axle could come out man it would make the job easier. Really hoping someone chimes in.

Looking at the differential schematic, I don't know if I'd want to pull the axle out without knowing for sure that something wouldn't fall off inside. You might have to take more apart than you wanted to to get it back together.

That is why I stopped were I did. It kept taking me deeper and deeper. I stopped at the u joints. The knuckle was filled with all sorts of stuff. But everything looks tight. I am putting it away for the winter and will continue next summer. Hoping to get her back to her glory. I am getting a little at a time and learning a lot as I go. Wish Mitch would come back around.

I think I have we a service manual lying around somewhere. If I have the time and find it, I'll scan the pages. Your manual should be available from Floyd county museum as well.

That would be very nice to have. I wonder if it's different from the one I have.

I tried to send a photo but it would not take it.

Well that is the factory service manual. I went and looked for the manual on my end, couldn't find it, but I did find the 1250A/1255/1265 Oliver service manual, so I compared the parts books on the front axles. Funny thing, the part numbers are different, but the diagrams are exactly the same for the front end. The steering cylinders are the same, so I don't know what would be the difference between the two front ends. That said, I took a gander at the front axle section in the factory 1250A/1255/1265 manual, and disassembly seems fairly straightforward, along with what's shown in the parts book. Removing the locknut/setscrews seems to be the only thing you really have to do from where you're at and the axle should pry out. But I think if you go any further you're going to need o-rings and seals.

I asked my old man retired mechanic friend, and he seems to remember and think the axle shaft just pulled out once you got to where you're at. He couldn't recall a snap ring or set screw, but hey, he's in his mid 80s.

Thanks for everything you have tried. Is the service manual better than the shop manual?

 

[scootergmc]

service/shop same same. If you have the setscrews out, start prying.
