drag link rubber dimensions

Hi, does anyone know the dimensions for the front rubber sealing of the drag link? Mine has a hole and needs replacement. I measured 22mm on the smaller end on the pin and about 28 on the outside, and 43mm on the outside of the bigger end, so I assume about 38mm inner diameter of the big end. And I ...

Re: non genuine parts

Hi,

I got my king pins from Agriline in 2013 and the result is described in

Short: They were not perfectly aligned to the steering arms.

I used colors of Sparex, if I remember correctly.

And according to Brian the whole Tractor is blue, as if it was bathed in color.

Re: 62 super major starter and injector rebuild

Hi, I bought a new starter for my 1963 Super Major a few years ago from Ebay and didn't notice that there is a difference in the number of teeth. The starter looks like the originan Lucas starter but without any numbers on. It was a direct replacement without any difficulties. The rotation speed is ...

Re: rear axle bearing play

Hi Kjetil, since my repair there were no negative effects or sounds regarding the play of the axle. Seems ok so far, but if there is any problem with too low play, the power of the tractor will go over it an you'll notice too late. I used this sealing and did no modifications. https://histoparts.com...

rear axle bearing play

Hi, I had to change a bearing in the brake shaft of my Super. As I had to get the big gear out for that I changed the outer wheel bearing and sealings and resealed the whole axle. One spot less for marking my territory :-) Question: How much play is needed for the axle? I marked all positions of nut...

Re: engine overhaul

Hi,

calibrating the temperature gauge to 100°C is simple: Put the sensor end in boiling water. I did it with mine and saw, that the 100 C is the start of the red section.

Hi Rick, did not try it yet, because the width was ok for me how they were fitted as I got the tractor and I never had the idea of mounting them the other way round.
