150 front support

mmidlam · Aug 19, 2017

I am trying to find the front support casting part number 505398m91. Google has no results. First time that has happened.

Let me guess! The bronze bushing is worn thru into the casting?

I had to have the support welded and re-bored at a local machine shop on my 150. Sad part was I also had to remove the complete front main support casting as well and do the same thing. I believe the previous owner didn't own a grease gun.

I also believe that you must jack up (take the weight off the front axle) to get grease into the complete bushings.

Me Bad

I meant to say the machine shop bored the castings and re-bushed back to size.

Any good machine shop should be able to fix it, I've fixed several front axle supports from all kinds of tractors.

Boring the pivot hole back to round.

New inner sleeve made, and installed to accept original MF pivot bushing.

You can see on the second picture where someone had built it up with weld once before.

that looks a lot like a 65 front end .
my 65 front end is out for that .

The Ferguson F-40, M-H 50, MF, 50, 65, 150, 165, etc used pretty much the same front axle support.

The tractor's front end dropped in a hole and the casting is broken and threaded bolt holes stripped.

It broke the actual bolster that bolts to the front of the engine? You are more than likely have to go tractor salvage yard part hunting for that.

yes, also broke one of the engine block though holes.

All the 150's used the same front support regardless of what year, or what front axle was on it.
