ineedanother 2,079 #1 Posted 2 hours ago I figured I would start a new thread here since I've never seen this before. This 16 auto came in a package deal as a bit of a bonus IMO. It's nearly original, smoke-free k341, straight metal, hydraulics work but the lift cylinder leaks and I haven't investigated that yet. The biggest issue is that a slipping hub was welded to the axle . It should be a 10 pinion LSD and has 1 1/8" axles. I have a spare gearbox on the shelf but want to see how bad this axle actually is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a clamp on hub from Lincoln at A to Z Tractor in PA. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have another auto that had been converted away from the electric clutch and I was fine with that, but I have to say that this came with a FEL and the clutch seems to be ideal for that. On or off. Smooth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

midpack 1,130 #6 Posted 1 hour ago I love the soft start module on my electric PTO, I got it before the cost went crazy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,079 #7 Posted 34 minutes ago Some 24 grit grinding got me down to the axle but whoever did this evidently did quite a bit to chamfer the inside of the hub to lay a bunch of weld in there. I'm about to put the puller on it and see what gives. I'm thinking there won't be much to save given what I see at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
