Super 55 Front Axle Repairs-Anyone done it?

Has anyone out there repaired the center hole where the front axle pivots? I have one that is badly worn. This would be the time to fix it while the engine is out. There is a local machine shop I am going to talk to. Looks to me like getting that pin out would be a real bear. Just wondered if anyone has fixed one.

Of course the spindle bushings and thrust washers are shot but that is about normal. Don't forsee any huge struggles there.

Maibach in Creston, Ohio has rebuilts as well as pins. Drilled at correct angle.

I did this 2 my 550 and can give u some good advice.Use a brass bushing in the axel. I had a metal one put in mine and it would gaul against the pin eventually breaking the bolt that holds the pin in the axel. Brass will prevent this. Also I think my frame housing was worn a little which didnt help. 550 pins were drilled at an angle from the factory. Im not sure about super 55's. A machinist should be able to tell. Have your pin drilled for a grease fitting.

we rebuilt one last spring and your right about the pin , it was a real pain to get out. However since you have to motor out it might be easier. I know we had to heat a little,pull a little until the casting and pin got hot then let them cool down and go again.

If you have the machine shop put a bushing in the axle let them give it a little extra clearance. The hole in the axle on ours was not really straight but more of a hourglass design that let the axle float a little. We put a regular bushing in and had to open it up some to get the axle to float right. Also while you have it out put a grease fitting in it.
