Hi Lance did this today and have a video on my home channel, thanks very much, mine was welded together, so needed the angle grinder to split the weld and sand down the weld, turned out ok, and I am heading off tomorrow to buy parts at Quality Tractor Parts here in Ireland, they are not too far from me, thanks for such a great video.
Great shows Lance! We're restoring an old grey fergie up here in the states that my dad has had for over ten years now. Used to be a real nugget of a tractor, and It's been a slow process going to mechanic's shops over the years, and it's really helped actually seeing the process so as to do the work ourselves! Our leveling arm is bent as well so this is a great point of reference for us, as is the pto restore video cause our seal has been leaking for as long as i can remember lol Thank you for making these videos and God Bless
Thanks Lance - Very useful video. This is a job I have waiting for me. As the tractor is still a working girl I have the original rather sloppy linkages in store waiting for when I can restore them while some after-market ones are taking the wear. Think I'm going to need to make some bushings to make good the wear in some of those holes though.
My one is striped was welded it works ok but i ground of the weld moved it a bit for the post hole drill rewelded it up both inside and outside treads are striped ,i will weld a nut and a piece of freaded rod to it with collar surprising enough the cast welds up great .if i see one at a swop meet i will replace it .
What would be wrong with my hydraulic pump on my 175 Massey Ferguson if the pump is not turning and the secondary pump has air bubbles coming from the bottom
Hi Lanze,good instructions for a job I need to undertake,the shaft threads are worn and they part company ,no mention of Sparex part numbers for replacement parts,any reason? John.
@@BundyBearsShed I soaked both halves in the parts washer and then used a wire brush on the outside threads. Also sprayed with some penetrating oil. For the internal threads, I use a power washer and ran a rag through. I didn’t have any corrosion, just dirt and dried grease. Sprayed both parts with fluid film, and they went back together nicely, and it is working well. I’m not feeling the need to invest in a tap or die that large. I think it will be fine with plenty of grease. I appreciate your reply! I also used a sharp scraper blade to clean out a few of the outside threads.
You really made a nice looking job of that. Your videos make me want to get a tractor or maybe a kangaroo but I have no place to keep either one. =(;-) thanks for the video.
G day Harrold, Well getting a tractor and keeping it is easy, not so easy keeping a Kangaroo unless you have HIGH fences but they Would keep Daisey amused.

Thank you for the video. I just finished the leveling box on my 1952 TO30. Having your video to watch made everything
go smoothly. I'm in Idaho USA.
Good to hear it helped Ralph, That's why we do them.

Thanks Alex, Glad you are getting something useful from them, makes the hobby a lot more hands on and a lot cheaper.
Good one Lanze it looks great, good restoration without compromising its integrity regards John
G day John, Yes it came up good and will look the part when the tractor is all painted up.

G Day Colin, This is a nice easy bench job for a rainy day, nothing to difficult.
Enjoyed the the rebuild of the leveling box. I've never been in one before. Take take
G Day Lloyd, No I don't seem to see any on cars lol. Nice little bench job.

More than one way to skin a cat eh >
Thanks most tractor levelling boxes work same ,need to do one on mine
Yes most are very similar.
Love all your shows
Thanks David glad you enjoy them.
Grabbed the crate early Lance 😀
What would be wrong with my hydraulic pump on my 175 Massey Ferguson if the pump is not turning and the secondary pump has air bubbles coming from the bottom
Probably a blocked filter.
Hi Lanze,good instructions for a job I need to undertake,the shaft threads are worn and they part company ,no mention of Sparex part numbers for replacement parts,any reason? John.
Sparex had not come on board at this stage.
Do you have any tips for cleaning the threads?
I use taps and dies and a wire wheel on a grinder.

nice i got one on both sides
G Day Bill, Yes they are handy on both sides but I don't see that often.
You really made a nice looking job of that. Your videos make me want to get a tractor or maybe a kangaroo but I have no place to keep either one. =(;-) thanks for the video.

Hi Lance about to tackle this on my TEF, how do I remove it from the tractor.
Just knock the top pins out.
I need to find time to redo mine as well, it's a bit sticky from old grease and crud. Cool videos, Thanks
Thanks Darren.
In one of these videos you mentioned don't use open end spanners. Why's that?
will usher the jaws can stretch on a tight part and round the corners where a ring spanner won't
OK that's what I thought, thanks
Your a bit of a worry when you start putting your fingers in grease lol
lol.
