OK, I'll take everything in that pic + anymore you got! LOL You're more than welcome to throw a pile of stuff out on our set up in front of the vendor barns and get it to the next guy that needs/wants it. We sell it but you keep the money. Put a fair price on stuff and it'll easily move, try to get top dollar for every little thing and you'll be bringing most of home. Jay will take any leftover stuff you don't want. I take stuff people leave around the grounds in our area too just so the WHCC doesn't get stuck cleaning it up. There's a couple other guys that do that too. I see a frame, hood, hood stand and a belt guard + which is enough to get started on a tractor build giveaway tractor. Those things should somewhat match so there's no cutting/welding. I can donate a running 8hp Kohler engine plus more.

During this years snow cleanup , my PTO on the loader 418C just self destructed. Put the bell into my lathe and cleaned out the debris a bit. The bearing shell finally released. Parts arrive from RockAuto. I did have a Koyo bearing to compair to the Timkin. Both appear to be quality items. Don’t forget to search the web for their rock auto 5% off coupon. Some parts cleanup and install the new Timken outer bearing and the SKF inner grease seal. Back in action. Comment Wecome

Could be the case of too good a quality bearing. I use a $4.00 PP204RR6 Napa bearing. When it fails it usually starts to smoke or stink or both. I keep a spare PTO bell on the shelf and swap it out and keep going. Then I fix the bad one as the spare. This keeps damage to a minimum. I think I have changed 2 bearings in 15 years.

4140 pre-hard is about Rc 40. Pretty tough when loaded in impact, too.

I saw this post/ thread after looking for some parts i knew i had for 45 minutes this afternoon. I found them but realized i picked up the plastic bag of them three times without looking in the bag! I then went to my desk and wrote out s note to buy some containers to take multiple parts i categorized on a list of p to both the Portland, Indiana Tri- State Engine Swap meet in May and the Big Wheel Horse Show in May. You can too much of a good thing!

My heavy front axle is from another brand (JD ) machine, and the 1 inch steering knuckles are too short for the trailer hub mod. So I am gonna try to modify them. They have a 3/8 tapped retainer hole drilled instead of using a castle nut like the 520. I'm gonna try and weld on some length using a 1 inch spacer drilled for 3/8 and make a different retainer. I'll grind out a deep "V" and weld it back up. We'll see how it goes...

Some very nice work there. Looks like it was originally built that way!

Picked it up this morning. Only 40min away. Needs some stuff to get going but everything is there, parts just in a couple boxes. Between this & the free Raider 12 I got in December I should be able to make a 1 decent tractor.
