Ok, got things apart, and there are multiple issues. Pin is fine length wise, however, seems to be the wrong diameter. Next, at some point in time, the woodruff key sheared, and the tractor was run with the brake hub just spinning on the shaft. Both brake hub and shaft are seriously scored......probably both will have to be replaced. Now, the teeth on the pinion shaft are sharp, and are chewed up. Bull gear appears to be ok. The bull grear oil pan is bent and spluge weld repaired, but not leaking. The bearing is ok, but both seals are shot. someone bent the retainers on both of them, which cut through part of the rubber. Ham handed Hank musta been in a hurry when he put the final drive back on after replacing the woodruff key.........and jambed the dickens out of the inner and outer seal.
So, I will need a pinion shaft, 2 seals, and brake hub to make it right.....looks like this old girl won't be ready for the tractor parade this weekend unless I decide to put it back together for now, and get the parts for future repair. I am not sure I can find and have the parts shipped in time to get them installed before the parade this weekend. I would guess 2 hours work to replace those parts, and put the final drive back on.
:cry:
Oh well, what one finds opening up old "wounds". I guess since this is going to basically be a show queen, the old pinion may work, but I sure wouldn't want to work this old girl hard for any period of time.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
