VernMI,

Regarding the front axel my husband could not press the piece of shaft out of...

A "before" pic and a couple of "after" pics. Pin had been removed before heating/pressing. Husband said key only keeps the axel from turning on the shaft. It was just on there really solid and required the larger press the machinist owns... took 35 tons of pressure to press it out. *Also a pic of tractor as it is currently looking.

Next week he will have me take the bad axel to the machinist to have him remove the good shaft and then press the good shaft into the good axel so it will be ready to go back on the tractor.

He will keep the bad axel in case we ever need it (we have an F20 in addition to our Regular). But original Regular axel had bad threads on BOTH ends, plus a huge groove worn away on it... so would have needed a lot of repair by a machinist.

Sweetfeet, keep taking the pictures, you and your husband will look back at these in the years to come and they will be a part of your family history and also the tractors' history. So many good memories.Phil
 
Sweet you are making progress! Good looking field of corn in the background. Not much of that in Indiana this year.
 
Kornfused, (neat handle by the way)

Yes, it is. It has been a year in the making so far. We bought it this time last year. Husband tore it down right away to make sure it was restorable. Slowy acquiring neede parts needing relacing.

Hoping to have it running before/by next summer. He works long hours and has had other projects take priority. It is a leisure time project. We are enjoying the journey, not just in a hurry to reach the destination.
 
Phil S.,
Thanks. And I will keep taking pictures...can't seem to help myself. :)

We are keeping kind of a journal so we can make a little restoration book for ourselves when it is all done. Plus be able look back and see what it cost us in the end - though no matter what we spend in dollars, we have added immeasurably to both our "fun" and "memory" banks!
 
The Red,

Thanks. It is a long term project as I mention in a reply below. But we are enjoying it a lot.

Corn does look real nice - not ours, since we rent the land out the last 5-6 years.
 
Great Pictures ,really enjoy looing at old machines that are being restored. Like I told my wife the money goes anyway might as well use it for something that you enjoy.
I just imaniage that your Kid s & Grandkids will enjoy it also.

Thanks for the fololowup. Interesting way they fit the pieces together. Must be a pretty good press fit and strong cross pin shear to hold up the front of that tractor for all those years.
 
VernMI,

It was together very tightly. I know there is also a halfmoon key higher up on the shaft... so I am thinking that may help hold it up or in place (in addition to the pin). But for sure, I am no mechanic.
 
He is considered enlisted with delayed entry. So he will go to boot camp next summer after he graduates from high school.
 
AZpeapicker,
It is a fun project. My husband enjoys the mechanical aspect and I enjoy the photography. So he does the work and I record it with pictures. Yes, our kids and someday grandkids will get tractor rides and will be taken to threshing/plowing shows too.
