On both sides i have the same problem. What whould have caused this? The big pinion is not damaged, if i get other shafts wil this work?

If i am not mistaking the gear on a fm differential is a hypoid gear. If you look on the 3 photo on this page you see the gear on the top: http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/ubb/F ... 00138.html

A stop for the throttle is also possible. i don't think its a cab support as the arm of the crane hangs just over your head. can anyone help me with the secound question? should i put a breather on ...

I don't think its a part of a foot throttle as i see now other parts or a print of anything on the paint.
If it was for a tachometer shouldn't there be a part on the engine? where does the cable for the tacho connect to?

hello everyone a few months ago i bought a major. i'm now restoring it but on the right side there is a support. does anyone know what it is? http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee424/benctech/18072011041.jpg It has a yellow FL head so i guess its an industrial engine. the breather is just a pipe th...
