I have a MF135 and a Ferguson TO-20. I have noticed a problem with the large bearing in the rear of the front wheel hub that fits against the base of the spindle pin. On both these tractors, this large bearing starts spinning on the spindle pin so that it wears into the base of the spindle pin. Eventually it wears to the point where the hub starts to contact the spindle and wears down the hub to the point where the bearing seal is being contacted and worn away. Has anyone seen this problem and corrected it. Do you glue or wedge the rear bearing so it can not spin on the spindle? I want to know what others have done.

Try peening them with a center punch.That swells the axle and the inner race will lock on to the peened area.You could also have them built up with spray weld, possibly

Hi,
Once you have wear on the spindle there is nothing that can be done. How are you adjusting the bearings? Once packed with grease they should be fitted and the nut turned until there is little or no play present. Slacken back to the next psplit pin slot and spin the wheel. You may well find that the nut will tighten up one slot. If it will not go any further without putting a drag on the wheel, fit the split pin.
Spin the wheel again and it should come to a gentle stop. If it stops quickly then the bearing is too tight. Carry out the adjustment with the wheel fitted, it's more accurate.

my mf65 does the same thing .but it's to worn out now i need a new spindle . At work i use loctite 660 or 668 depending on how worn the shaft are . the 668 works great on our high speed fan shafts.
