Unfortunately it didn"t help. This doesn"t happen all the time only when I"m on uneven ground and the left front wheel is on higher ground and the left front axle is high. Rough on the fan, water pump, lower radiator outlet, and ruins the hose after a couple of these episodes. Anyone else having this trouble? Is this common? Is there a cure? Thanks, Bob [Reply]  [No Email]

If you have left the front axle bracket on the tractor, a large cold chisel can be used. Work around the circumference of the pin face, using the flat of the chisel as a lever. Heat and plenty of penetrating oil help if it's really difficult. To remove the bushing, begin carefully cutting the bushing with the chisel. It will start to curl and should then push out fairly easily. The new parts should slip in pretty easily by hand - or with a very light tap of a hammer. Colin, MN [Reply]  [No Email]

Once i got it so it would move side to side reasonably easily, I used a slide hammer to pull it out. Wasn't hard at all. There is also a How-To on the 'other' 8N forum that uses a threaded rod to pull the pin out. This post was edited by mbramble at 06:35:39 03/11/13. [Reply]  [No Email]
