I was just going to tinker with it a bit and fix a couple things, but one thing led to another and now its all over the garage. Most things are in pretty good shape, It just needs some freeing up and some grease. Adjusted the valves, compression is 130psi. The engine must have been rebuilt at some point. The biggest problem found was the front pivot pin. The holes in the front axle support that the pin sits in have worn so the pin isn�t tight in them. The pin bolt wasn�t completely tightened so I think it allowed the pin to move around which caused the wear. I am going to see if a machine shop can bore out the holes and press in some bushings to take out the slop. I should really be working on other projects, but this is a lot more fun!

Is your pin bushing completly gone? Look closely. Mine was paper thin and hard to see inside the axle pivot point. It was quite a chore to remove without damage to the OD of the pivot point. Once I got the old bushing out, the new bushing was placed in the freezer for a week. The wife had some questions about my idea. I cleaned the inside of the axle pivot point with emory cloth, carefuly warmed the pivot point area with the torch. NOT HOT! Just warm. Applied a light coating of paint to the leading edge of the frozen bushing. Made sure, visually, that the bushing was square. I used a hardwood block on top of the bushing and a 2 lb. hammer to drive it home. Worked like a champ. This may not be the correct way to install the bushing but it worked for me. A shop press would have been handy. It is amazing how much it tightened up the front end.

There is a very thin bit of bushing left in the axle center section, so I�m not worried about that. The new bushing should fix that up. The wear is in the axle support that bolts to the front of the engine. The pin is supported in two places in the support on either side of the axle. The two holes in the support have been worn due to the pin moving around. I suppose if I tightened up the bolt that holds the new pin in place it would seem firm, but I figure the pin would be flexing all the time due to lack of support at the rear hole in the support and I don�t know what that would do over time.

All the parts are available for that axle, the Pin, the bushes and the axle beam too from Sparex or from this site (YT) look in the parts section for Ferguson.
