Any of you out there with the same pin in your tractor and it is over 50 years old...please check the condition. The warranty may still be valid as long as the original purchaser presents the tractor and both of his Grandparents to witness he was that purchaser! LOL....Sam [Reply]   [No Email]

Oh BTW, Cladugh McKenna is not amused by your venture into online cooking lessons, baked tractor parts or not, she knows how to find you... I accidently told her it was the place with the only F40's on the eastern side of the ocean.... I would offer her a cool Carling Black Label, I'm sure then she will forgive you... [Reply]  [No Email]

He bought an old 8N Ford and rebuilt it, I remember my friend telling me how he rebuilt the front axle bushing, bearings and pin. He installed a grease zerk in the axle casting and cut grease groves in the pin so the grease could travel back and forth completely lubing the axle pin. He probably spent 10+ hrs of machinist labor reworking that old axle bearing. Tractor will be long gone, but that axle bearing will be like new. [Reply]  [No Email]
