Iron in H rear end

Jason Rasmussen · Feb 23, 2012

Have a 53 super H stage II, drained oil from the rear end and tranny and found big pieces of bearing cage from a ball bearing. Just wondering is there any bearings in the rear end or tranny that are more common to go bad than others? Kind of thinking it might be from a inner axle bearing. Thanks.

You are thinking right. Inner axle bearing is the most common big bearing to go bad.

Might be left over pieces from a previous failure.

Yes, inner axle bearing. Drive the tractor in second gear and hit each brake HARD. If the inner bearing is gone that side will "lurch, wobble, or clank". Sounds like some of the things we did in college

Hm? Found the same problem in my MD I am restoring. Had't pull the platform off yet to look.
