Continuing a long term restoration on my 1943 H, I worked my way to the front wheels. Found that one hub was original clamp type, other was later bolt on. Found a second clamp type but discovered that the inner bearing race (the big one) on both clamp hubs was loose, i.e. would rotate by hand within the hub. Both outer races are OK, i.e.smooth and static. One inner and one outer bearing set required replacement. I have ordered a couple of inner races and the circular oil seal ring which is pressed in ouside the race (#7 in the IT manual on P-10) Question #1: Is it likely that the wear permitting the rotation is confined to the machined steel race, or is the cast iron hub also worn? I have had one opinion from a tractor mechanic that the hub may be worn too... If the hub is also worn, and the new race doesn't fit snugly, is there any remedy aside from Lock-tite? Question #2: What is the preferred method of removing the oil ring seals...i.e , should they be tapped out from the inside, or should the be yanked out from the outside??? Both hubs have what appears to be a sheet metal seal inside the outer bearing race and one also has the seal inside the inner bearing race. These do not appear on any schematics of the H axle that I have seen, so I assume they are aftermarket..they are also apparently non-functional as the axle hole is extremely distorted and would not work as a seal....
Question#3: Should I remove these while I am working on the races?? Any and all help is most appreciated...
