Tom Batts Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I saw a great video on adding thrust washers and roller bearings that Zippo Zarga put together . He even showed a packing list with part numbers but I have tried to track down the numbers to no avail . I wish I knew where he got them . When I use the Simplicity part numbers they show NLA . Any ideas ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregB Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Where are the bearings being placed? Guessing on spindle for easier steering? If it is I got mine from McMaster Carr. Bedded the bottom washer in JB Weld, used a split collar on the spindle to hold it perpendicular until it cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhanDad Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Here's one of the early posts (from Tech Tips Forum) about the thrust washer install on the front spindles: https://simpletractors.com/forums/topic/7974-axel-wheel-spindle-mods-on-big-tens-family/ There are other posts.
