The left axle on my Ferguson 30 was held on with only one stud when I bought it . The other 5 studs had sheared off long before I got it . I can find no signs of damage indicating what caused it to happen . Any ideas ?

I got what was left of the studs out of the hub and am in the process of replacing the axle seals and packing the bearings . Now , I have removed retaining collar from the axle per the FO manual instructions . My question is how do you get the bearing and hub off ? Is the bearing race a press fit or does it need just a little "help" getting it to come off ?

I realize that this is probably a stupid question , but I don't want to break something .


Thanks !

Thanks for the help guys . I removed the collar one one axle without problem . Sounds like getting the bearings off may be a bit of a b*tch ! I have the I & T manual but it is not a lot of help .The I & T manual that I have for my 2N is a lot more detailed .

Anyway , thanks again !

Sometimes you can save the bearing and sometimes not. I drive the bearings and set collar on with a correct dia. pipe . Just make sure the pipe is not rusty inside.

I just did the same job this past summer on my MF-35. The collar comes off by drilling it and then cracking it off with a chisel (they are pretty brittle). The bearing removal can be quite an ordeal, some come off pretty easy by bouncing the stub end on an anvil and using the hub as sort of a driver. If the bearings are original, as mine were, they may not come off this way. I had to split the cage with a pencil grinder, remove the rollers,(which lets the hub slide off)then split the inner race CAREFULLY with a grinder. When you reinstall the new bearings they really arent a super tight fit. Mine drove right on with a brass drift. If you cont have a manual, I suggest the factory book. The I&T manual was ok, but left out a lot of detail that really helps. When you put the new retaining collars on, it's probably worth a trip to the Massey dealer. The temp range on heating the collars is narrow, too cold and you won't get them all the way on, too hot and they won't grip the axle correctly. My local Tech wouldn't even charge me to do the collar install, he said its just one of those "take care of the customer things" but i slipped him $20 anyway. As far as the sheared studs go, Massey doubled the number of studs to 12 on the MF 35 so i think they knew they had a problem. They also added more studs (and increased their dia.) at the center case to axle housing mounting flange. Sorry this is so long, hope it helps!
