Good fix Lance John

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day John, Yes it should last a while now.

Hi Lance, do you know if the centre beam of the front axle on a 3cyl MF35 is the same as on a TED20 tractor? They certainly look the same but someone on Facebook has told me they're not the same. I want to replace the centre beam on my MF35 and I can get a good one off a TED20 but if they are different it's no use to me. Sparex offer replacement centre beams for both tractors and they're the same part number. Same with Agriline. I thought I'd ask if you knew. Thanks. Peter.

The only difference can be is that the early ones had a very thin pivot bush but the later ones had a fat flanged bush. If you get an early one it is not a big job to machine it to fit the 35 bush, I do that often. The 35 will fit backwards to a TE20 though.

My 1957 TO has a nut on the retaining bolt like yours.

[@BundyBearsShed]

I think from the FE35 onwards over here they had the nut so it seems.

Wow Goldie's engine is really tall compared to my TO20 Continental engine. I was real impressed with the heft of the differential on it as well. Actually, the whole thing is well built. I'd love to have one but I don't think there are any in the US.

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day T, i have a photo on my wall of a TO35, that looks to have a lot of similar parts from the outside but has the grille we use in the TE20. Nice looking tractor.

[@bcbloc02]

Normally on those pins with bolts they need to have the tabs not clamped tight or over time they fatique and break the tabs. I doubt this machine will see the hours though for it to ever matter. :-)

[@BundyBearsShed]

G Day Brian, Yeah there seems to be a fine line between sloping around and having some give, Im going to fit a grease nipple into the pivot to take any extra stress away.

[@assumptavaughan887]

Great job lance.Is copper a must have in the bush you cut the track in,the reason I ask is that I have a bush in my te 20 front axle and it's steel.Keep up the good work.

[@BundyBearsShed]

The early bushes were steel on steel pin
