Uys's tractor fred

[Uys]

Die vibrasie voor op die motor is jou fan sien ek.

Yip!!! Snaaks genoeg hoor of voel mens dit nie. Maar ek sal hom vervang.

[Uys]

Lots of washing happening today! Hy lyk bietjie soos n nat gereende hoender!

[Uys]

So nothing much wrong with the steering box, luckily.

It was quite dirty and rusted - the bearings is busted, but when I removed the steering rod the box turned well.




After washing and cleaning the components looks like this:




The front axle does need a rebuild though - the thrust bearings on the stub axles is most probably my main problem on the steering.

... does it have a 'steering assist' set up on the front axle ? ... as I've read such can be adapted for use on Series Land Rovers
instead of power steering ...

Ek bestel my spindle kits by my midas op dorp. (Verkoopsman het voorheen by n mf dealership gewerk, so hy is met al sy contacts na midas, so hy weet waar om trekkerparte te bestel), dink dit is vanaf denver trekker onderdele. Daar is 2 sizes op daai spindle, so meet net voor die tyd die size. Basies net n 2 brass bushes, n bearing, en velt wasser. Maklik om te vervang

Daai trekker het nie soos hy daar staan, maar mens kry ja. Denver trekker onderdele verkoop dit. Klaar opgemaak vir gewone bolt on kit vir spesifieke trekkers.
Nice ding van die kit, as trekker vrek, het jy nog vol stuur sonder veel drag. Kyk boontoe in sy thread, daar het ek my john deere sin gepost

Nah.... I grew up without it - so will my laaitie! The tractor is light enough.

Dankie. Sal netnou met Bepco en Denver praat.

Die ratkas lyk goed.

Some progress -

• basically the entire steering needs re-build, all the bearings, bushes and seals are being replaced.
• All fuel lines need replacement
• re-wire
• rear wheel bearings need a look at.
• Re-paint.

It is however dirt cheap to repair. Replacing the bearings, seals and bushes on the steering box is R450.00

Any idea how to get this loose?

I cleaned it, tapped it with a hammer all around, used penetrating oil, tried a chisel on the edges.

Next option - heat?

Kan dit gesweis word? Groot moer opsweis en dan powerbar met pyp oor as verleng stuk, maak seker van rigting van skroefdraad

[Reenen]

So een, met n pyp. Moet net hub vas wedge tussen studs deur. Normale rigting thread.

Hy skroef uit Uys!

[Tiaan Pot]

Maak hom baie baie warm.

[Uys]

Die ghries raak soos gom. Toe ek hom warm maak toe draai hy sommer maklik los.
