A small repair

jon f mn · May 28, 2019

The spindle on one of my wagons siezed and broke the spindle arm and bent the tie rod. This was a poor design because they put just one grease zerk towards the top of the spindle so the lower part didn't get grease. Just a little heat to get it out and I drilled and tapped the lower part for a zerk.

Then I made a new block and bushing for the arm. I made it thicker so it will wear better.

I did both sides even though the other side was ok.

Then some time to straighten the tie rod.

All better now.

Is that an Electric?

Yes, but sold as a case.

Nice job, I wish I could weld half as good as you do. Should get plenty of grease in their now.

Those were weak points on many running gears but you have shown how a little time and talent can correct the problem. That repair surely will outlast the original set-up. Thanks for sharing.

I?ve got one badged as a Cockshutt and I also have a CASE gear. I?ll have to check if it?s an Electric as well.

Oliver also sold them, so cockshutt in Canada would make sense.
