Got the new bearings, new Heim ball joints....just need to get some new front tires then I can assemble everything. Is the front left spindle supposed to come appart from the axle? Cause I'd say mine is welded together and the removal of the roll pin does NOTHING now!
Got the right one out and cleaned up and cleaned 1/2 of the left one "ON" the machine. How about the grease fittings on the spindles...they just press in? I don't want to break mine off to replace them, but there isn't any sides on it to put a wrench on it like I normally see? For those of you who have had to deal with a center pivot pin that has been welded in...how did you get it out after grinding off the weld, drive the snot out of it? Looks like a big PIA job to do while standing on my head. Think it might have to wait until I want to strip the tractor down, or at least stand it on end almost to work on it!
Gotta get the mower on this puppy and get the grass cut...otherwise I will have to rent a few goats soon!
