Try this. If the axle support is out of the tractor take a hacksaw apart put the blade thru the hole re-assemble and cut the bushing in two places and take the pieces out-After 2hrs of beating on mine my 12 old son made this suggestion. It works!!!!! !!!

I saved this from a couple of months ago.

"There is no need to drive the old bushings out. Just drive the new ones in and the old ones into the center of the housing. This will add weight to the front end and help keep the wheels on the ground. I have seen the housing full of old bushings on some of these old tractors. If you get the original ford bushings they will have to be reamed. They are made this was so that when they are hammered in and get banged up and distorted they will fit after reaming. After market ones my not have to be reamed. Zane"

Hope you had some fun with your 3# the last couple of days.

Thanks to those who have responded.It
was the center brushing I'm working on,hadn't thought about spindle brushing's
yet.Had the motor out for overhaul and
figured to do it right??? Not sure there
was anything wrong (seemed sloppy ),but
had s friend who suggested it would be
wise to do it.Have found a socket that
works and have gained a little....As soon
as the swelling goes down in my left hand
I'll have at it again...you know the story,
bigger hammer,old eyes,poor light...
smashed fingers....too darn hot anyway.

Thanks again Ron

I pounded the 4 spindle bushings with a long rod from the inside out. I ground the rod to have a sharp edge to mate the bushing edge. The problem is worse when the bushing is worn thin and there is no edge to pound against!

The center support bushing is driven out with a large socket. It is worn only on one side and could be turned over if not too bad. It is split and can also be shimmed if not too bad.

Ron,are you talking about the bushing in the front axel or the spindle bushings,which there are two in each spindle.One on top and one on the bottom.I replaced the brass bushing in my front axel and to remove it I used a old screwdriver and folded it right out.Very easy removal.Good luck and hope this helps you.Larrys8n

I assume you mean the spindle bushings. Don't know what kind of sleeve you are using, but I found a socket that just fit, and then gave it a couple of really good whacks. If it won't come out, get a bigger hammer and brace the axle really well so you get a good solid hit. There are top AND bottom bushings. My $.02
