Rebuilding the rear end
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 4:50 pm
We made bushes for the top lift arms where they fit onto the square section rocker to take up play. Found new small bushes for the top lift arms in dealer's stock.
The plates that support the drawbar to the rear axle were worn, drilled out holes and fitted bushes and new pins. So there is no play in the 3 point hitch.
The small toothed block in the handbrake was worn, found a new one in dealer's stock.
The seat was in good un-rusted condition, just required heating and straightening, and made new pivot pins. The diesel tank was washed out and filled with special sealing fluid which fills any tiny pin holes,( also the air cleaner bowl). Dents in tank filled.
