Hi, For someone familiar with the job it is no more than a small routine repair. There are no pullers etc required but it is essential to have a safe means of handling each axle housing. Having the axle resting on a trolley jack even if there are two of you is a recipe for disaster. If using a trolley jack some means of holding the axle on the jack is very advisable. The photo shows the splitting rail kit that I made some 30 years ago. The axle is attached to the mobile stand with a strap in the balance point. The amount of work required to remove the housing will depend on what is fitted to the tractor cab/loader etc. With the housing removed and safely supported you can remove the inner disc to gain access to the discs and actuator. If you have failed seals the discs will be shot anyway. Remove the springs and seperate the halves of the actuator and examine the ball ramps VERY carefully. Look for any pockets where the balls could catch as they roll. Check the balls as well. If you have everything to hand and assuming that no loader or cab is fitted the job should be done comfortably in 4 or 5 hours per side. There is an adjustment procedure. Please come back when you are about at that point or before if you have any problems. DavidP, South Wales

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
