1872 front axle bushings
 

Looking for axle bushings 941-3005 for the 1872, 2072 tractors. I see they are NLA. Anyone have dimensions for them as I can make them at work. I just can't have the tractor down right now to remove and measure. Also, are they made out of brass or bronze? Mine have a lot of side play in them and I assume thats not normal. The tractor has 860 hours on it and I've always greased them monthly. Thanks.

Could you post a pic of what you are talking about .The 1872 is supposed to have bearings in the axle tubes not bushings I know the original had them but thats about it.

What did you grease??

Not the wheel bearings, cub calls it steering knuckle assembly. Sorry for the confusion.

Again, pictures would be most helpful...

:TTWWP:

I think he means the bushing where the spindle goes through the cast iron axle and rotates for steering.

If mine were worn, I would measure MINE before machining, to compensate for wear.

You can get them though a local bearing place. I got mine at Buffalo Bearing. They are brass with a steel outer casing and the a split. There are two a side. I don't remember the exact size. I'll look and see if I find a old one, then I can measure and show you what they look like.

Number 2 in picture. Part# 941-3005.

Rob that should help a lot!

I've edited your post and changed the title to front axle to clear things up a bit.

I've got a set here along with the whole axle !! :biggrin2:

I could either part 'em out or measure and make them . Either or . :beerchug:
