Since I can not figure out how to get a pic into this post i have posted the pic in "help identify" and it is listed as 544 axle slop. Please take a look at how the picot shaft is showing and the gap from the axle to the cast "bolster?"

The pin doesn't have a spacer, but likely has a sleeve. The sleeve probably only goes thru the axle, not the bolster. I see no evidence of anything broken in the picture, but you should easily be able to tell in person. The gap is no longer than it is on my 460U (different bolster). I can't see the arms that run from the axle back to the frame, I assume it is reinforced that way. Without them the axle would have front to back movement. Theoretically the axle should be centered in the bolster, and the arms should stop the front to rear movement. It could be where the arms attach to the frame that there is slop there, letting the axle move on the pin.

Like Cowman says,

Put a jack back under that clutch housing and jack 'er up. You'll know real fast if something is outta wack.

Dave,

Dunno, it is hard to tell; but you shouldn't have that much slop across that pin.

I looked in the IT manual on the 544 and see no evidence of a spacer on that pin.

So, I wonder, is that a crack across the front of that trunion or just a casting deformity?

I dont know, did not notice one when I was loooking it over. I ll have too look closer. If nothing is broke and I can fix the slop, would it be OK if I install some wacher , shim kit ti tighten the gap?
