Am looking for a decent Clutch Fork Bearing Housing B167R for a 1940 B that is not too worn and, at the very least, is usable. Have found a couple on ebay but they were worse than the one I have and am just throwing good money after bad. Anyone out there have one that is at least relatively tight with little slop in the top hole?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob -- Take a look at an article over at the JD-H Restoration Site (below), it may be of help to you here. Scan across to ARTICLES 2, and from the drop-downs, select PULLEY BRAKE. I regret not having taken more pictures while I had the tractor, but I've tried to explain the procedure -- should reveal to you what you need to know. (PatB)

I had our A clutch pivot, linkage and all from the handle to the fork rebuilt at Sharps for about $100.00. There is no play whatsoever and it works great.

I recently had mine rebuilt by Mike Williams of Clinton, IA. I don"t have his phone number handy but I"m sure someone on the forum can provide it. The job he did should last another 60 years. He does great work. Good luck.

Yes, those do bore pretty nice, and you can re-bush it back up to size, either in steel or bronze. I have welded up the fork shafts and ground those back down to size, even turned them down and placed pre-formed steel split bushings on the and brazed them in place. Not much motion there, but not much lube either, so some of them wore like crazy over the years.. It's not a tough job if you are doing yourself, but at today's shop rates, it can get pretty pricey in a hurry for just a little work.

Got this from your post Fred, from a while ago.

>>>I got Mike Williams name from this and other John Deere forums. Mike does all types of machine work on JD 2 cyl tractors.I needed my clutch release mechanism rebuilt, after 60 years mine and all the ones I had been able to scrounge were quite sloppy and wore out. He did an excellent job. Thanks again Mike. Anybody interested in work can contact him in Clinton, IA, at 563 243-4928.
