Mystery piece of a part

Here's a piece of a part I found in some drained Hydraulic oil. The oil was from 3 different tractors, a 48 8n and a 49 or early 50 and another different brand which shall remain nameless at this time. Not the greatest pic, but the best I can do indoors. The piece is cast,broken on both ends. the grey bugle shaped section is machined, the opposite is not. It has part of a machined bore. Without a radius gauge, I'd guess the bore was around 3/4" It is clearly broken at left and right. I have a clue what it is, but would like to verify my suspicion. I think I saw what it was in the exploded view of the hydraulics, but there's always the chance it came from the other brand.

It doesn't resemble anything I recall inside an 8N lift or differential - As you suspected, it may be from the interloper.
 
(quoted from post at 09:39:51 05/14/13) I'm gonna guess that it's part of the diff center housing. Where the pinion end support bearing goes.
ooks too small for that.....but all the pictures are poor.
 

Inside or outside isn't the problem, it's the focus. Look and see if your camera has a macro setting on it for closeups. If not, you at least need to hold that camera still. A tripod would sure help that.

Lots of cameras have an auto shutter feature on them which when set automatically takes the picture within a couple seconds to 10 seconds without your finger pressing on the button and screwing up the focus.

You might at least rest the camera on something like a book or a couple books to help steady it. On something like that it would also help to place something in the picture that we all know the size of like a 25 cent piece or something similar. This helps people looking at the picture to judge the size of your mystery part.

A picture is worth a thousand words but a blurry picture not so much.
 
what Caryc sez........notice green grass is in perfect focus........need more coffee as my eyeballs still don't want to focus.......blurry Dell
 
In focus or out,it looks very little different. The green grass is 8-40' farther away. I guess it doesn't really matter. I could take some clearer pictures, but the piece would be so small they'd be worthless, and if you blew them up,they'd be grainy. Good news is with the top cover off the lift,sump drained, and reaching and feeling around as far as I could to the rear, I felt or saw no place for it. I'm going to assume it came out of the big red ugly cornbinder and carry on. If it came from the N I'm working on now,it had to come out of the tranny, because I'm into the lift and hydraulics now,and it doesn't belong there, and it's too big to come out the diiff drain.

ell, since you are in the hyd area, you might look around the PTO shifter (722)?
 

Did that. Everything looking good. Found the majority of my lift problems too. Have a lot wear on the cam follower pin, a little on the cam surface,but not bad. The socket that the long control lever ball engages in the bottom at the rear of the pump is pretty elongated. and wear around the ball at the end of the lever to match. It makes more sense when it's apart and you can seee what's doing what, when, and why. I'm guessing .020 here and there inside at the right places could add up to many inches at the end of the attachment arms. :wink:
 
Here's some better pictures. Smart Zoom :D As you can probably tell by my flawless hand, I'm new to mechanicing, and gears nuts, bolts,etc. I've never worked on printing presses bigger than my house with few spare parts, or had to make said parts with 2 worn out lathes, or two,a slouchy drill press, and a "classic" bridgeport milling machine or anything like that, so take it easy on me :eek: :lol: Manuals in German and Japanese were my biggest help on the presses and collating equipment., since I'm also fluent in both. Stitchers, collators, waste balers. compactors, ice machine,Fork lifts, grab truck.chillers,heaters,engravers,platemakers,lawn mowers Then there was the building ...... This was at my last job. After 27 years of hosery,I quit and went home to play with tractors and minibikes, gokarts,farm and such. I'm not about to let a little camera or tractor whip me. :D
