I got this tractor last November and change all fluids. The transmission oil was 2-3 inches low and very dark. This spring after only few hours of run time including maybe 15 kilometers of road trips I changed the oil and found filings.
From info from Fordson sites I decided to haul her home and split, concerned about upper shaft bearings.
Got her split.
The lock nut on primary transmission upper shaft is stripped. I assume the woodruff key should lock the retainer. Could the woodruff break? The main transmission upper shaft bearing was missing one bearing holder, not sure what its called. All missing roller bearings in trans bottom.
Curious why the nut stripped. The woodruff key was not near the retainer, could it have broke. Sorry forgot to take picture of woodruff key before taking out (destroying).
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Jeff
