Worn Front Spindles?

Tom Bowman · Mar 17, 2017

I replaced the original front spindles on my TO-20 with the aftermarket version a few years ago.

There is some wear on the original spindles, and I read on the YT board that they can be welded/built up, then turned back down to spec. I didn't have that capability, so I just went with aftermarket.

I'm doing some cleanup around the garage, and those old spindles are going away with the scrapper, unless someone wants them, for the cost of shipping. They have the "TO" part number cast in them, if you're a stickler for originality.

Massey Ferguson MF 35 Gas and Diesel (3 cylinder Diesel) Parts Book: Form No.651 093 M91: 1960:

Ferguson Parts Book Form N0. 693 043 M2: 1957:

I own and operate a 1963 MF FE-35 X. I removed a Front Spindle from my parts Tractor...1952 TEA 20 S# 251562 and Installed in my 1963 MF FE-35 X:

Parts Books indicate Front Spindle T0 20,FE 35 x,T0 30,TE 20,TEA 20 are all interchangeable:

Now the Ferguson purists will possibly kick and scream bloody blue...as the hubs are slightly different but they do interchange:

I looked into welding some up, talking about the king pin bushing area.

Don't see how they could be turned, no way to hold on to the spindle end to turn the top end...

Also the welding could weaken them.

Unless someone says they want them, I agree, time to let them go.
