Farmall M bevel shaft to main shaft pilot bearing

Schultz · Oct 27, 2011

Does this look correct? The Outer race is inside the main shaft and held in with a cir-clip. The exploded views that I have don't seem like this is correct. Is the bolt just holding down a retainer that holds the inner race on the shaft?

Thanks for the help

Here is the main shaft view.

Yeah, a star lock washer under the cap screw I think.

Looks like a original one. Is that a crack in the bearing race and retaining washer on the shaft, or just a place something hit. Over the life of M tractors IH changed the shaft, washer and bolt retaining the pilot bearing a few times. One you have is like a lot of them. Think at least 3 bearing numbers were used for the same thing. So some will look a little different.

The washer is on backwards and that is what is cracked. It is also what kept the bolt sticking too far forward so that it rubbed on the input shaft and rounded the head.
