Raider 12 front axle rebuild

[Jmeoff 0]

Is there anyone that rebuilds front axle's as in; bore out the existing spindle holes, press in a bushing and ream to size?

Can't speak to that but why?.According to parts tree the 300 series uses the same front axle and there are tons of good used ones cheap, out there.Far less expensive than machine work.

I am not sure if you’re looking for a service shop for that, or asking if it’s been done?  It has been done by a few restorers here... but I haven’t ever needed it done that bad.  As Jim mentioned, there are tons of good used parts available as well.

Give Lincoln a call at A to Z tractors in Pennsylvania. Pretty likely you'll have something that would fix you right up.

 

Be sure to double-check the frame holes themselves. Those are more likely to be worn out than the axle is. You can bush those as you spoke of. Another way to repair those holes is to weld a spacer on the outside of them and simply use a longer pin.

You can place an ad in our Classifies, it is free and there will probably be someone near you who has a good axle to give away or sell at a reasonable price.

It can be done .......... IF you have the proper tooling. I Have a lathe and a milling machine and with these its a relatively simple job, and small expense, what with just getting the bushings. But what with time expended in set-up, a machine shop would probably be much more expense than finding another.....
