Looks like the HD4 I had went through 1 bull gear and 2 pinion gears - also outboard bearings on axles - 3 axles - and then decided next owner could fix when broke as it ran when sold . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

FWIW A Fiat Allis comment So far haven't been in here with our FA 10 but a wrecker I talked to mentioned he had one with 12000 hours on and the finals hadn't been apart. I hope, but various scars says ours has had a rough life earlier. |

what machine is that on ? Had to have case welded up on my FD5 as outboard axle bearing ate into bearing cut and destroyed the casting , had steel insert welded into case to hold that bearing , On my HD4 both sides of machine had the cases fixed with steel insert. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| It is an older dry steer HD11. I'm pretty sure the bearings have never been looked at before, full of grit now. At least it is someone else's tractor, and I have a donor. A win-win for me. I wonder if it didn't break because of the track adjusters in a round about way- I can see that the track was trying to come off the sprocket, there are gouges in the links, several sprocket teeth are chipped, and one sprocket tooth is broken off entirely. Tracks were way loose. |
