MY A WHEN YOU HAVE IT ON THE ROAD IN 5TH OR SIXTH GEAR THE FRONT END SHAKES AND WOBBLES PRETTY BAD. IS THIS A BAD SPINDLE OR IS THERE SOME AJUSTMENT ON IT TO GET THIS OUT? BY THE WAY IT DOES HAVE THE NARROW FRONT END WITH TWO TIRES ON THE FRONT. 1950 JD A.

THANKS,

BUTCH

My G's front end wobbled awful until I tightened the front wheel bearings. Just jack the wheels up a little ( I dont have a rollamatic so I pull one of the front wheels up on a wood block)If you can feel any side to side movement in the wheel, take the cap that's in the center of the wheel off, three bolts I think. Inside behind all the grease should be a large nut with a small bolt in it as a clamp. Loosen the clamp, tighten the large nut until the wheel spins freely but has no side to side play, then tighten the clamp and put her all back. If that doesnt work or if the wheels are already tight, you can take off the grills, and the round cover on the very top of the front pedestal. There should be a large nut with a cotter pin. Remove them, and I believe you can pull out the sector gear then, though it takes a little work. Under the sector gear there will be a bushing, and a small screw on the side that holds the bushing from twisting. If you take that screw out you can rotate the bushing right or left to try and make the gears fit better. However in my case, the gears were worn pretty good, and I couldnt get any of the play out this way. Almost forgot, before you try moving the bushing, be sure that there is little front to back movement in the steering rod and little up and down movement in the shaft inside the pedistal.

I got all this from the I/T book I got at Tractor supply. Best book $15 can buy.

Hope I didnt make this confusing, it makes sense to me at least! If I'm wrong on anything someone correct me. But I think this is right. Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Ill try those things. Sounds pretty simply. The book you were talking about is that the I/T shop manual or another book that I/T puts out?


Thanks for the help. Ill have more ? as time goes on with my JD A.

It was the I/T shop manual. I think it is for the A/B/G/H and also has a section in the back on the M's. Its not a thick manual, but it most if not all the important information in it.

You could have a worn worm gear.
