Hi . Just found your channel and im very impressed at how you operate and explain things in great detail. Im currently restoring a super dexta and I think they have some similarties to a mf 35. Half shafts seem similar anyway. Keep up the good work👍

[@BundyBearsShed]

Welcome aboard! I recently bought a Dexta for the channel, Im not sure when I will get to it but it is in the line up of things to do.

[@niallrg3708]

@@BundyBearsShed yes I seen the video of you made with your Dexta so will keep an eye out for more.

[@MrSpubby]

I'm restoring a 1956 MH50 as we speak,your videos are very helpful...Thanks for doing what you do!

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thankyou.

[@asgardgeoff]

That seems to be the way I do things, start out to do one job and end up doing three or four, with a rest in the middle while I wait for the additional parts to arrive.....but, better now than later when its up and running. Good series Lance, thanks.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Lance all this mucking around that'll teach you for sticking your finger in the hole!!!!! Seriously it was pretty interesting about the bloke with the new Fergey you got to admire him for sticking to his guns on that one, still as you said you found out about the problems with the one that was on it. This was a good video Lance cheers John PS they are a very nice piece of casting those housings.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks John, Yes you need to be careful where you stick your finger, you never know what you might find. lol

[@poulgammelgaard8868]

Good series Lance, thanks.I am looking forward to see, how you will messure and adjust the preload on the differential, when you have changed the worn bearings.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Thanks Poul, You cant really adjust them on a Fergy but you can adjust the rear axle float with the shims. That is why it is good to have good quality bearings so the tolerances are all the same.

[@poulgammelgaard8868]

On my 1964 MF 35X there is a spacer behind the right side outer bearing ring in the trumpet. The spacer comes in 6 different thicknesses and is marked with little dots, so you can tell the difference. The book calls for a special tool to measure which one to use. That tool is not available. I measured the preload by turning the pinion axle, first with the trumpet bolts loose, and after I tightened them. Luckily enough it felt right, because you cannot get the different spacers :-)

[@ShainAndrews]

Moving right along. It's progressing like every paint job I have ever done. All it takes is painting one bolt and before I know it the entire machine is blown apart for seals, then bearings, then I figure I may as well freshen the engine. I tell ya a rattle can of paint has cost me more time and money than I care to count ;-)

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yeah Im hearing you there but not to worry I like to fiddle. And I get parts for the right price.

[@lloydjohnston5382]

Good day to you from a subscriber from the east coast of CANADA, I have watched all of your videos to date very nice work (excellent) I am the owner of a Fergy also a 1959 4 cyl decent rig but needs work very hard to start , anyways in your video your rear brake assembly when your sizing the big nut on the trumpet stand where the camera is and look to the left of the nut along side the steel rib you will see a blob of grease in the grease there is a face must be the Devil ha,ha.thought you would like see it ,it is at 13:00. thanks for listening keep up the excellent work and videos bye for now

[@BundyBearsShed]

Ha /ha thanks Ill have a look, lol.

[@dazsden]

Hi Lance! Thanks so much for all the great videos! I'm working on a Ferguson 20 and am replacing the rear wheel bearings. After watching this video (I also have a grey/gold TVO) I was thinking of pulling off the trumpets and replacing the diff bearings. One question I have is how do you shim up the bearings? The new gaskets are usually thinner than the factory ones. Is it just a matter of replacing gasket and bearings and putting it all back together?

[@BundyBearsShed]

The bearings seem to be adjusted well with existing shims. To go the full setup is complicated and I have found just replacing the bearings and gaskets to be a good fix.

[@JACKATTACKED]

So do you reckon the paint shenanigans has done you a favour, now your finding these bits n bobs before they got any further Lance?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes I am pleased I found the crook bearings so probably a good thing in hindsight.

[@bcbloc02]

Looks like that tractor has had a lot of water in the rear end oil at sometime by those bearings.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes possibly, It lives in a shed at my place but in the 60 years since new I have no idea how it was treated. New oil and a clean up coming up.

[@tjohnson9051]

That was interesting. I don't have to take that apart on my TO 20 but I always wondered how they kept the oil from running out around the brake shaft. Interesting tidbit on Sparex, I emailed Yesterdays tractor to see if they are a Sparex dealer and if so why do they not show many of the parts you have used, in their online catalog. They replied that they are a dealer and Sparex USA does not have all the parts available that your Sparex supplier has. I will probably Email you with the parts I need and see what it would take to get them from you.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes Sparex are more a English company but I deal with Steiner in the USA for quite a few parts.

[@johnmacdonald6201]

Now that you have taken off that side trumpet housing and found the damaged bearing etc, will you be likely to do the same on the other side when you get around there?

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes for sure

[@Drottninggatan2017]

It seems a bit silly to reject a tractor just because of there being 6 bolts instead of 12 for the wheel bearing hub. 6 bolts is plenty. He might not have notices that the size of the bolts on the inside of the trumpet are not the same. 7/16" for the Ferguson and 1/2" for the MF. It was silly. But the customer is always right.

[@BundyBearsShed]

Yes probably thought he wasnt getting what he paid for.
