Indiana_Steve 124 #1 Posted July 18, 2022 The axial on my 953 is really sloppy at the pivot point. I haven't looked at it closely but it appears to be missing a washer(s) of some sort. Can anyone tell me what should be there or what you have done to fix the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,758 #2 Posted July 18, 2022 You may wish to raise up the front of the tractor by the frame and remove the pivot pin. Reproduction pins are available, as well as good used. IF the cast iron axle bore is wallowed out, it can be machined and sleeved for press in bronze bushings. IF the back boss is chewed up, it too can be machined down a bit and thin steel washers added to take up the play - I have done a few, and the spindle bores that way, machining the lower bosses down to add thrust washers.

squonk 41,942 #3 Posted July 18, 2022 953/1054 axle pins are bigger size than the "Normal" WH pins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,767 #4 Posted July 18, 2022 You will need to remove the pivot pin and inspect the pin, the axle pivot and the two supports for the pin to know where the problem is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
