bellevillerod 834 #26 Posted March 20, 2019 Thank you for the link, your video's have taken the fear out of tearing into the drive trains on these tractors. The last one that I did is going strong and I expect it to last long after I'm around to drive it. It give's me great satisfaction to bring these old tractors back. My love was brought on for these through my dad. He saved and pushed mowed a huge lawn until he could afford the Horse he wanted. I still have that C-160 auto, and it mows for me 45 years later. Again, thanks for all you do to help. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #27 Posted March 22, 2019 Well got the hitch and pin issue taken care off tonight. One down and many more to go. Forgot to bring in the axle key to start on a brass one for welding up the keyways. For the longest time I was a round hood fan, these short hood horses are starting to really grow on me. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a few weeks. I really like having flat steps on my tractors but I understand what you mean... I like the look of the hood in the mid 60s. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevillerod 834 #30 Posted March 22, 2019 Was also able to hurry up an knock off the plow bracket before I got off work. This thing was bent three ways to Sunday, used hard by the looks of it. I took a torch to it and was able to straighten out the latch arms and the angle iron. Sand blasted it all real good and a couple coats of paint. I was pleased with the way it turned out. When I took it off it did not look like it had been installed right. But I will have to look for pics to see how the old style brackets are supposed to be installed before it goes back on. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevillerod 834 #32 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Ok some talk of the broach to cut a keyway in the hub. Here are a couple of pics of the process. Edited March 23, 2019 by bellevillerod 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you work this. Use a press of some kind? How many passes to get the keyway deep enough??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #35 Posted March 24, 2019 Ya I used a hyd press, and it took 3 passes to get it cut to depth. After the first pass you slide a shim, top pic, behind the broach and go again. If you need it to be deeper you put another shim behind and go again. Most keys are are two shims deep. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
