Power Steering Leak

Posted on April 23, 2017 by Paul Hoehne

I believe the O-Rings on the power steering at the shaft on my MF 35 are leaking. What will be required too replace them? There are no O-rings between the steering wheel shaft and the outer housing. The power steering valve is a sealed unit that slips over the steering wheel shaft. If you have Read more about Power Steering Leak[…]

Pin Assembly Pivot

Posted on March 21, 2017 by Paul Hoehne

I am restoring a 1953 TO 30. The bolt in the Pin Assembly Pivot does not seem to be right. What am I supposed to have? The bolt should screw into threads in the front axle support. If it has the original front axle support the bolt should be 5/8″ fine thread as I recall, Read more about Pin Assembly Pivot[…]

Bent Steering Arm

Posted on February 21, 2017March 8, 2017 by Paul Hoehne

I inherited a ’51 TO-20 with a bent steering arm.  What do I need to do to fix it? Yes it appears the right arm is bent. I would recommend replacing it rather than straightening it. It should be part number 181369M1. This should be a relatively easy used part to locate as it is Read more about Bent Steering Arm[…]

F40 Power Steering Bushing Replacement

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Rick Weaver

I recently purchased an F40 high clearance that has power steering. The steering does not work worth a hoot, so I took it apart. I am rebuilding it. Upon disassembly of the steering pedestal I noticed the fit between the shaft and the new bushings is very tight. Do the bushings have to be reamed Read more about F40 Power Steering Bushing Replacement[…]

Can One Straighten Bent Radius Rods

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Rick Weaver

Do the radius rods have a slight arch upward? Both sides have some arch, but this tractor had a loader at some time in its life, so I wonder if they are bent. If they are to be straight, I think a machine shop can straighten them. Also, the bolts that attach the radius rods Read more about Can One Straighten Bent Radius Rods[…]

Proper Thrust Bearing Orientation

Posted on October 18, 2016October 18, 2016 by Rick Weaver

I am getting the 35 back together. Soon it will be time to get the green paint out. The thrust bearings at the bottom of the front spindles look a bit like small clutch release bearings – which side goes up? February 28, 2015. Many of these bearings are marked top, indicating the position they Read more about Proper Thrust Bearing Orientation[…]

Proper Jacking Point for Pivot Bushing Service

Posted on October 18, 2016October 18, 2016 by Rick Weaver

What is the preferred jacking point on a TO-30 to take weight off the front axle when replacing the pivot bushing? March 24, 2015. The bottom of the front axle support is the correct jacking place. There are a series of holes in the bottom of this plate and a turned down portion which is Read more about Proper Jacking Point for Pivot Bushing Service[…]

Rebuild Stiff F40 Steering

Posted on October 16, 2016October 16, 2016 by Paul Hoehne

I’ve been refurbishing the steering of my F40, and I am still experiencing stiff steering.  Should I replace the axle bushings? Yes, I think you should replace those bushings. You should also check the thrust bearings on the bottom of the spindles, maybe even the spindle bearings if you didn’t replace them, but I suspect Read more about Rebuild Stiff F40 Steering[…]

Posted on October 15, 2016October 17, 2016 by Paul Hoehne

Can you help me find a steering column chrome cap for my TO-35?  September 5, 2016. I am not aware of anyone selling a replacement chrome cap below the steering wheel for the TO-35/MF-35. The rubber grommet is available from Steiner Tractor parts. As far as the chrome cap goes most of the originals were Read more about Steering Column Chrome Cap TO/MF-35[…]

Posted on October 14, 2016 by Rick Weaver

I’m looking for help with my Ferguson TO-35 Steering box disassembly. I am looking for the felts, o-rings and shims for the sector shafts. Can you help me find them? I believe these are the parts you need and they are all still available from AGCO/lMF.
