 Topic: 190xt front spindle
Posted: 24 May 2024 at 1:30am |
|
My neighbor broke the spindle on his 190xt and asked if I knew how to replace one. I’ve never done one and figured this would be the place to ask for advice. Thanks for any help you can give

Just know the steering arm has to be removed and key dug out before spindle can slide out.

Remove snap ring, remove steering arm, remove key and spindle assy. should come out the bottom. Hopefully no one welded the snap ring on top of the spindle or else some grinding will be required to remove.

The point made earlier about the woodruff key is vital. You will have to get the steering arm off the spindle then remove the key and then it will through the bore. The best recommendation I have heard is to raise the front end pull the axle beam,turn it upside down. Then sledge hammer the steering arm off the spindle. Might heat it a bit as you hammer. I didn't do that and wish I had tried. I was advised to cut a slit in the arm to relieve the grip when I did mine 35 or so years ago. It is a tight interference fit when you have new parts and it holds well as designed. We welded our steering arm back to the spindle after slitting it. Been OK so far and do keep it lubed.

flipping it over and pounding off is what I did on one 8070. Not a pleasant task but it worked . Seemed all wrong. Pounded back on and still tight after 10yrs. Must have something to protect arm from hammer when reinstalling.

can you drive a pickle fork between the arm and axle housing ?? or no room ? Heat ?
flipping it sounds like a lot of work... I like the SPLIT IT with a die grinder idea..

I talked to the neighbor last night and he has it changed. The broken one had been welded at some time. The broken one came out fairly easy and he is back up and going. Thanks again for the advice

I really hate seeing weld on spindles. Seems to be popular in the Red camp also. Had to change a thrust bearing in my 1066 once. Steering arm welded to spindle, broken all the way around mind you. Still wound up grinding on it for about an hour with a carbide burr to get it apart.
Another thing, pretty sure those spindles aren't just 1010 steel! My guess would be 1045, could be higher alloy than that even. Just because you can strike an arc on something doesn't mean you should!
I've got some sort of an issue with a steering arm/key/spindle on my 185. Toe in won't stay put. Not the tie rods either. It's nice to have plenty of tractors to fill in when one is sick!
