    Posted: 09 May 2016 at 9:26pm
Family has my grandfathers D14 that I plan to put new front wheel bearing and seals in this summer. Got the parts I believe and the owners manual. Are there any gotcha's I need to worry about. Or is it pretty much straight forward as a car or truck. Sorry for a newb question but haven't worked on this Allis or any tractors!

Welcome to the Forum! Lots of knowledgeable people (myself not included) that are willing to share their expertise. Just be careful, once you catch Orange fever there is no known cure.

I've had orange fever ever since the first day my grandfather let me drive this tractor when I was 10 or so. I even have an old Allis mini bike from my childhood.

I would have to assume that the reason you are planning on replacing the front wheel spindle bearings is because they are worn, sloppy and perhaps just bad. If that is the case you will most probably need to replace the bearing races and grease seal at the inner end of the spindle. If you "experienced" this activity before then you probably have your expectations in order. If you haven't, then you may indeed be in for some surprises as pulling off inner spindle bearings and grease seals is not for the faint of heart. Especially when the front spindles have not been serviced regularly. I just finished my annual front spindle "work" on my AC 175 and 6080... my 175 is used as a daily chore tractor in the mud, slop, etc... getting the bearings, etc off the spindle can be somewhat "tricky"..but if you have the right tools.....  good luck.

I use a home made "collar" and a wheel puller to get the inside (on spindle) wheel bearing off and usually partially cut the grease seal to remove from its rusted resting place. I suppose you could beat the old bearing off... as I did many years ago.. but then I had some filing to do to get the new bearing on.  I take the hub to a machine shop to remove the bearing races and install new ones. I've used a torch, chisels..large hammer, etc to remove the races... but at 75 I don't need the aggravation, much less the resultant damage to the hub. If you plan on using the tractor for light work and the bearings are just worn, perhaps lubricating/packing  them with appropriate grease and tightening up the spindle nut is all you really need to do. However, I suspect the grease seal is probably shot so taking off the bearing will be necessary to replace the seal. Removal of a worn bearing from the spindle comes with its own challenges. I suppose you could get a bucket full of WD-40 and diesel and immerse the spindle in it for a week or so... but that's your call. But take a peek first.. chances are 50-50 that the real sloppy un-lubricated bearing will just fall apart in your hands... or maybe you are one of those lucky folk and just a repack and adjustment is all you need.

I've changed several wheel bearings on front tires and wagons and never had too much trouble. I can usually lay the hub down on an anvil or concrete and drive out the race and seal with a hammer and punch. A race driver set makes install a lot easier but can be done with the right sized socket.

Sometime you can just pull the cotter key and tighten the nut to remove the slop. IF the bearing is out or really bad, that won't help.
