mikeeyre74 289 #1 Posted December 4, 2016 Taking apart my C120 automatic, vintage 1976 and surprised to see that is has threaded axles and bolts to hold the front wheels on. I've got a '77 C120 that uses circlips just like all the other machines I've ever had. Was that the changeover year? Or does it have something to do with the automatic models?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,133 #4 Posted December 5, 2016 The C-Series parts lists show the 908003 bolt up to and including 1976. 1977 went to a retaining ring. Replacements for the 1974-76 likely used a retaining ring after this time. Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,970 #6 Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) The bolts are special they have a plastic insert that acts a thread locker. That is important for the left side especially.. don't ask me how I know this.....(Why old time cars and trucks had left handed threads on the driver side wheels) Edited December 5, 2016 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #7 Posted December 5, 2016 Everything on this tractors so filthy.. I didn't even see anything unusual about them like that. I'll have to take a closer look when I get back to that part of the rebuild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
