  • I noticed the tractor was jumpy when letting the clutch out to take off, I checked the rear wheels and found one had side to side movement in the bearing. It turned out to be an easy fix

    David Brown's got a wobble
    In the right rear wheel.
    But for old Marty T
    It's no big deal.
    He took off the wheel
    And then drained the oil.
    Took out some shims
    As thin as tin foil.
    Put it all back together.
    Torqued the bolts round the clock.
    Went out to the stockpile.
    Got a nice scoop of rock.
    The David Brown's wobble
    And the pot hole are gone.
    I think we're all ready
    To see the next one.
    Thanks for the fun Marty T. :-)

      Removing shims between bearings allows them to move closer together and fit deeper into the races.

      are the shims there for age? As it wears you remove them? Seems strange to remove them to tighten something, it seems you would do the opposite to make it tight.

      It does seem kinda backwards.

    Hi Marty,
    Another nice find.
    It's certainly in need of a good clean to get decades of dirt accumulation off. But you have to determine it's worth that effort and water.
    Noticed when you were using your micrometer you used the main barrel to get your reading, you should use the smaller knob at the end as it's like a torque wrench that always applies the same pressure. And when you've finished never close them up, always leave the anvils slightly separated, so changes in temperature and the resultant expansion/contraction won't damage the instrument.
    A front bucket is something I would love to have on my tractor, so useful.
    All the best, Dennis.

    Where did you learn how to fix stuff? That knowledge is golden! Most people just find the part number then order and replace. We should all learn how to make stuff work!
