After cleaning everything up with emery paper, my husband was able to press the shaft into the replacement front axel for our Farmall Regular. Yeah!! We have a low ceiling in the shop, so he did have to move his press outside the shop, chain it to the tractor bucket - then raise it up a little and block it, so the shaft had clearance - but he did get it back together.

Machinist chained his press to a forklift to raised it to get clearance needed to get this good shaft out of our bad original axel. Also required a lot of heat in addition to the 35 tons of pressure.

Sometimes it takes a little head scratchin', but a good mechanic can generally come up with a workable solution. [Reply]  [No Email]
