 My rednecked plow is being difficult. The front disk is loose and fails to continously turn. Thus it stops turning and just acts like an anchor. Removed the nut (2 & 7/16") and found busted cotter pin. Removed the pin & fragments and thought all I had to do was re-tighten, insert new cotter pin and be on my way. NOT!! As of this weekend the plow is still down. I am sure front bearing is shot but I have yet to get the dern thing completely apart. On Sunday I removed the nut, washer and still cannot get the axle shaft to exit the hub. Even put the nut back on and popped it good with 12# sledge. I am sitting here thinking that maybe there is a keyed collar or threaded collar that is preventing removal. Any ideas on how to remove this axle from the hub?
As a side bar - To finish plowing my neighbor is bringing over his 2 ford plows tonight. He will be running his 8n and me the 550 with these 2 bottom moldboard plows to get the job done. He loves to plow and I am sure I can learn something from him.
Once the plowing is done I will resume the efforts on the disk plow. Updates to follow.
