64 4000 Ford brake shaft bushing

I'm getting ready to do that on my 64, 4000 retirement project.

Be careful doing so because the brake shaft bushing bore in the axle trumpet is a through hole, sealed from the inside with a welsh plug, that is probably badly corroded. It is easy to perforate it when cleaning the bore and replacing the bushing. Doing so, of course will result in an oil leak.

Additionally, it is common to find the end of the brake shaft badly corroded, compromising the benefit of replacing the bushing.

Stay tuned.

I don't mean to hijack riveroadrat's post but it may very well help him to. I'm fixing to redo my brakes on my 640 and there's some slop in the shaft on the right side not the cross over one. Is there a bushing in there as well or has the end of the shaft worn down? I thought about taking a copper pipe and splitting it and trying to drive it in around the shaft with out removing it to take up the slack. I looked every where and don't see any bushings for this. Thanks.
 
The bushings are available from CNH. I think you can just loosen the brake backing plate to move the shaft enough to get it out of the way. The bushings are most likely worn through and should be easy to remove. It seems like all of mine are sloppy on the right side. Do any of you righthanded people prefer to turn around to the right? I'm a lefty and my preference is to turn left
 
Very good advice. I drove the brake pedal shaft in too far while replacing the brakes on my 63- 4140 and had oil leaking out of the trumpet. I was also doing axle seals and bearings at the same time. Rather than remove the trumpet I replaced the welsh plug from the outside. By carefully measuring the total depth I was able to drive the plug in without going too far.

I made sure I didn't over fill the rear end and that has held up for the last eight years.

"A lot of tillage implements are designed to turn left."

Please enlighten me as I cannot think of a single ground engaging implement that permits turning without lifting.

I think he's talking about a drag disc. We have an old King grove disc that needs to turn left.
