Hi all. New member here looking for a little advice. Heavy earthmoving mechanic by trade. First time Ferguson mechanic....
I'm working on a TEA20 front axle with a lot of wear in the front pivot and bent radius rods.
I've welded and bored the front housing back to size, rebushed the front axle centre hole and straightened the radius rods.
The problem is that the axle is now pushed right up against the front of the support and it's hitting the radiator on full oscillation unless I slide the radiator forward in the lower mounting slots. It's as if the radius rods are too long?
Were there different lengths of radius rods available? I know there were a couple of different engines. Maybe different length radius rods to suit different length cylinder blocks? I have the Standard engine, by the way.
Edit. I put the wrong model in the subject line.
