F12 w/single front steel

Longknife · Sep 13, 2010

I am beginning to tear down the single front wheel on my F12 to have new bushings made. It looks like if I put the wheel/axle in a press and apply pressure to the axle it will press out the oposite bushing----Right???? Let me know before I ruin something!! THANKS!

Yep thats how I got mine apart, just be careful that the pressure is even otherwise it may break one of the bushings. All I did with mine was bore the center of each cast iron bushing, than put a brass bushing in each one and theyre good as new. Lot cheaper and easier than making new ones too.

JJ, Thanks,did you replace the seals and where did you get them?

Yep I put in new felt seals that I actually got from a John Deere dealer cause it was the same size for a seal on the old As or Bs. And again just be really careful pressing those cast iron bushings out, I had one of mine break in the process.
