I have a Ford 3230 MFWD tractor with front loader. I believe it is 37 hp. However it has as much power as a 50 hp, I think. It pulled a John Deere 510 baler for several years, struggled a little going up the small grade a bit if the roll was getting big, but did a good job. Just wanted to brag on it a little because it is a great tractor. I have had this tractor for 15 years and the universal or universals are making a noise in the front end, when i turn it. I am going to replace all 4 of them. I started last night taking it apart. I took the wheel off the steering arm and the caps and bushings out and pulled the axle shaft out with the end gear housing, that the wheel bolts to. When I get home from work, I am going to take that housing apart with the gears in it, so I can get the shaft out to replace the universal joints.
Is there anything I should be aware of before I get into this part of the job? This will be my first time to tackle one of these, babies and I don't want to screw something up.
