narrow front axle removal 560

tn terry t · Apr 20, 2011

how do you remove the axle from the lower bolster on a 560 i have one that one side is fine and the others is total junk aint any fixin to this one. some one ran this ole tractor with a shot bearing chew up the spot where the outer bering is supposed to sit bout .250 slop between the new outer bearing and the axle

Just get another lower bolster with axle for cheap bucks. Were you planning to purchase the axle separately? I'll bet that a bolster and bolster with axle are priced the same at any salvage yard. Heck, if the seller has to separate the two, he will probably charge more for the separated axle. I know I would.

If you are looking at shipping and handling charges, that's a slightly different situation.

If no bolsters are available, as a last resort---use a center punch to make dimples around the worn seat where the bearing or race sit on. Then use red Loctite when assembling the package & allow to set up before using.
If the nut is worn in the threads, get a new nut & tighten to where needed & then weld the nut to the spindle at 2 places. You can grind the welds off later if service is needed.

The parts book shows the narrow front as a single piece. I don't think the axles are intended to be removable.

Thanks for responding to me guys the messicks site shows that the lower bolster is part#370251R92 and the axle part number is 370253R1
[u:a2755fbab7]Brownie 450[/u:a2755fbab7] the shaft is so worn down theres close to a quarter inch slop dimpling this on is out of the question but thank you very much

That is a tremendous amount of wear. The guy probably over greased the bearings.

I have a complete front bolster with hubs i'd sell for $75. It was off a 656 I had. I'm in SE Michigan though...

The lower bolster should fit from any M through 450, 560, 656, 666, 686 tractor
