What's wrong in this picture? Art noticed this yesterday when he was there.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, it's a good thing I had the parts off of the 107 before you got there, I would have felt bad if you had passed out from fatigue of doing actual work! )

Kraig, optional access hole for axle pin?

Kraig,

I used the same method to get my steering wheel off just 2 days ago when I wanted to put in a rebuilt column and had no spare wheel. I tried everything and then did the cut. When I pressed the shaft out with my 20 ton press, the press jumped so hard when the shaft let go that it knocked off some of the extra tooling laying on the press. So sometimes you just need to do what needs to be done.

BTW I was up your way on Mem Day weekend and crossed the river at Houlton. I must have been pretty close to your place.

Kenny W., no!

Jim, my parent's farm is 1 mile east of Houlton and then 1/2 mile south (I grew up in Houlton). I live 7 miles to the north along the St. Croix River. Which direction did you go after crossing the river?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Perhaps this will help,

Art wanted me to make you think harder so I deleted the photos. Yell at Art.

Oh sure, why don't ya just hand it to them...

The picture makes it look like the tie rod is on the top on one side and on the bottom on the other. -or- one spindle is bolted on and the other is held with some type of C clip?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jeff, the tie rod is on top on both sides but you're on the right track with your second thought.

Jeeez...I think it's safe to say that we've moved away from the days when we could spend a whole forum page discussing the virtues of Cub Original spindle design and it's various transgressions. Ah, the good 'ol days....

 

[sblunier]

one is bolt-on...the other looks to be snap ring or welded....

 

[kmcconaughey]

Here's a hint: Both are correct in their own right but only one is correct for this late SN (47,282) Original.

 

[roundy fendered cubs rule!]

Kraig,
It looks like the axle is on backwards.
There are no grease zerks on the front.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Kent, the spindle grease zerks on an Original axle are on the back side.

 

[roundy fendered cubs rule!]

How about the big ol honkin' bolt on the left side spindle?

 

[kmcconaughey]

OK, Art's not going to like this but here are the photos again.

Kraig -- what does Art like except getting free parts from someone else's sweat ? You should have delivered them to him so he wouldn't have had to haul them home.

Dennis -- is my little IH Hough Payloader a true IH product ? Know anything about a model HA ?

What is the difference between a 104 and a 105? I am new to Cubs. Thanks.
