Hello Gentlemen I have a Massey Ferguson 180 that I have been restoring for the past few months. If I recall correctly the year is a 1971? Ill have to double check the serial number.

I have rebuilt the Perkins diesel engine 236, new sleeves; head ect.. I am now going through the transmission which has very little wear.

My question is with the differential. I have a tapered bearing cup for the right axel that has some small scuffing. It's the large one on the actual differential. I do not wish to check the pre-load on the pinion for this tractor.

The ground speed PTO gear had a few broken teeth which I believe has gotten between the rollers and the cup.

I'm wondering if I should replace this? I can buy one set for around 170$

The rollers look fine but just light scuffing in the cone, Im afraid if I replace this then the pre-load will have to be done again, I do not whish to bring this to the dealer.

Part#
195159M1 ; 1 Cone, Bearing (2-5/8" I.D. X 1-3/16")


Thanks!
 
(quoted from post at 11:44:22 04/06/17) Can you feel the scuffing if you run your finger nail across it? You could try to polish it a little bit with some emery cloth.


Ptfarmer,

Thanks for responding!

I have checked the cone. I have two spots that can be felt with my nail. It's pretty rough. I'll hit it with some emery to see if it will come out. I seriously doubt it however.

Anyone have an idea on cost to set the preload if need be?
 
You could probably just replace the cone, and it would probably be ok as long as the new cone measures close to the same as the old cone. You can also check to see how deep the old cone is in the housing so you can make sure the new cone is close to the same as the old. The preload would probably be a little tighter with a new cone, but once it gets run it will loosen a little bit.
