Shynon 7,470 #26 Posted August 14, 2018 Got some time today, put in all new bearings, did a dry assembly to make sure i had it correct with the 8 pionion differential in it. All was good, so i put the gasket in and sealed it up. Filled with oil, oh and when you do this put the drain plug in first . 3 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mows4three 826 #29 Posted August 14, 2018 I'm good for at least one oil change on the floor in our machine shed or in the garage every three years or so! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if I should admit this in public but it's definitely a lot more often than that for me. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #32 Posted August 15, 2018 Hate to say it, but I put almost 3 quarts in my truck when changing the oil and looked down and saw a caramel river running toward my feet😊! We've all done it before, just hard to admit our own mistakes, but easy to laugh at other's mistakes! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,470 #35 Posted August 20, 2018 Steering shaft bushing NLA so i opened up the inside of some old front wheel bushings. Front axle hole was washed out so i welded around the hole, then I'm going to refit the NOS pin i got off 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,715 #36 Posted August 20, 2018 Hole built up with weld looks good. It will be a bear to drill, good thing is that it should never wear out again. I like your home made bushing too. Must be nice to have a lathe to tinker with. Cleat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,531 #38 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I used a sealed collar bearing in the steering tube on my gt14 instead of the bushings. They fit the tube perfectly and seem to work great. I can get the number if interested. Nice work! Edited August 21, 2018 by 19richie66 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,470 #39 Posted August 21, 2018 Today i cut 1/2" off the old axle pin and used a 1" collar as a giude to grind the weld out, finished with a 1"grinding stone. Actually worked pretty well the pin is tight no slop. Pulled off the front wheels an pulled out the spindles. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,201 #44 Posted August 27, 2018 What bends the clutch rod that bad? Tight belt? Too much pressure on the brakes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,470 #45 Posted September 3, 2018 Welded up the spindles today, fitted them back into the axle. New bearings and races on the front wheels. Rockshaft, steering shaft and fan, transmission bolted up. Wheels and tires on. Dug out the old motor from The Machine realized I need to switch out the oil pan. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And time you have, hoping to pull a plow at the meet and greet. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
