I guess that bolt was way overtorqued! This time use a 2 ft. cheater.

He didn't say that he was applying his full body weight to it. He couldn't have the way it was sitting. If he had gotten that kind of torque to it, he would have broken the bolt right then and there. Then he wouldn't have had the accident.

You're right Bern. I was aiming for more like 50 pounds on it, which you well know is more than difficult enough on that thing. But... if I ended up at 75 pounds, then it was still way over torqued at 450. The other thing I didn't do at the time, and should have, was check the end play. If I had I might have found the bearings slack then. They looked OK, and I didn't change anything else other than the seal, so I just didn't bother. Paying for it now.... This is looking like a 500 buck adventure for bearings, cups, seal and shims.

Anothe question.... The diff preload. The good book is showing that a bridge is required to measure the clearance and set this preload. Is there any other practical method for this? Needless to say, I don't have the special tool. I just talked with the parts manager... and he's going to check with the service manager, and they will lend/rent or something, but it's still a pain/expense. They're about 300 miles away. Just wondering what you did with them over the years.
Thanks again,

Rod

Never once shimmed a diff in those tractors in my 15 plus years of working on them. Never had to because they never went out. Unless you're changing housings, I'd simply use the shims that were in it. Bearings are manufactured with tolerances close enough that it doesn't matter.
