Ferguson FE35 Grey and Gold Restoration Part 12 Fitting and Setting up the Rear Axles. 

Thanks for helping this Canadian fruit farmer/mechanic! Always great to see well-made videos from a seasoned pro.

your videos are so clear and helpful, i found them so useful. thank you

Hi Lance. I really appreciate your videos. They are very informative and you are just fun to watch! I've been a machinist for 25+ years and we work mostly in inches. We do on a regular occasion work with metric. If you can remember the number 25.4, you can convert easily from metric to inches and inches to metric. For example, 10mm/25.4=.3937 Inches, or .875 inches*25.4=22.225 mm. Take care and keep the great videos coming!

G'day Lance. Getting closer to done every video. Next time I have a tractor to restore I will drop it by your place.

Why were those adjustments important on the axle at the end?

Have you covered renewing the lower lift arm pins on a ted20. On my tractor there is a casting around the pin with a separate nut holding it on do I need to remove this. Thanks nick.

hi Lance,thank you for your reply,forgot to say,i have replaced both diff bearings and seals and bearings on shafts,shoul i put anominal ammount of shimms either side to start the procedure,was a bit confused when you said just one side ?

I’m confused as to why you install a gasket each side of the brake back plate. The parts books for both the TO35 and FE35 specifies only one gasket between the axle retainer assembly and the axle housing for the 6 hole housings. It doesn’t indicate which side of the plate it’s to be installed but one can deduct that it goes on the housing side as the shims are shown beside it. Why do you use two?

One question lance . What do you do if you haven't got a measuring bit of equipment?

Hi Lance, Great videos. I have set my bearing to the tightest setting but when the wheels are on you can feel side movement from the bearings, is that something you have come across?

G'day mate you have the same problem as me bending down, like putting that axel gasket on, one thing though I couldn't understand at first why you were shimming the axel. I can only figure out that the axels move in and out on rotation is this to take up any load that the tractor pulls? Bloody interesting how they figured this out and I really have enjoyed these sets of videos in the restoration of the old girl good one Lance John

sorry Lance forgot to ask ime restoring a1960 mf 35 ,the hubs have twelve holes , do thay have gaskets either side of the brake plate,as non came off and i cant seem to get any only the six hole gaskets,cheers simon graves

What type grease do you use in the bearings? Just regular wheel bearing grease or any number 2 grease? Awesome video btw. I watch most all of your vids. They are super helpful.

I’ve been trying to find a dozen new half shaft studs with nuts to replace corroded ones. Can’t get them anywhere here!

Are you cold Lance?? I see your jacket. great video, thanks.

I presume you have to do this procedure for the other side as well? I’m about to attempt this Cheers

hi lance writing to you from south wales uk, watched you set up the halfshaft bearings with shims clock gauge etc ,i may be a bit dim .but do you carry out the same procedure on both sides of the tractor ,love your vids,simon graves

Gday. Ive just replaced axle seal and brakes on a early fergie with the kidney style cams, brakes are shit! Got me buggered, could you give me some advice please? Kind regards from New Zealand

I like it when you said half a millimetre... for others that's 0.5 millimetres, nevertheless great videos.

do you not need a bigger knockometer

love your videos, do you stock shim packs at the moment

Does there have to be gaskets each side of brake backing ?

I've watched your last few videos with the rear end. My friend has an old Fergie, he had just bought it and as soon as he got it onto his property he hear a loud clunk and the rear wheels quit turning. They pulled it the rest of the way and it sat for a year. I'm going to attempt to diagnose the issue. I gather that probable causes could be a snapped connector between the trans and the rear end, a snapped axle, or broken pinion gear. I'm going to pull the inspection cover on the hydraulic pump section and see if can view the coupler. Next I plan on pulling the PTO shaft and using a scope to inspect inside the rear end. If i can't see anything then I'll pull the left hand wheel and axle as you said both dont need to be pulled in order to remove the differential. Would you agree on these steps? Cheers and keep up the good work with the videos!

Do you not replelement the brakeaxlebushing

Is there a gap of 00.5-0.15 mm

Hey Lance how are you? Hey do you know the paint colour code for a tea20 Ferguson in 2pac Thsnks for your help
