    Which direction does Ford 2N front spindle dust seal NCA1190A go on?

    Which direction does the seal (NCA1190A) get driven into the hub on my 2N? Does the rubber lip go against the spindle or against the bearing cone?

    Deere 5410 Starter, Is it a 10 tooth or 11 tooth Starter

    I have now taken starter off tractor and it is an 11 tooth starter. Still not sure if a 10 tooth starter would also work but I ordered a new starter and it should be 11 tooth. I'm disappointed that the starter went bad. The fuel filter and water separator bowl is right above the starter. It...

I don't want to remove from tractor until I get the new starter. Here are my questions. For this tractor they sell both an 11 tooth and a...

    3-Point Hitch  JD 5410 Help - Make or Buy 3pt Arm Telescoping Stabilizers

    I recently purchased a used JD 5410 and I really like it a lot with one exception. The 3pt hitch arm stabilizers are the turn buckle type and I don't like them.

    Power steering on my L3650GST starts to fade (harder and harder to steer) after running for 2 to 3 hours. Just noticed this happening this weekend. The loader wasn't attached but the 3pt hydraulics and the GST seem to work OK. This happened two days in a row. First thing in the morning the...

    Winter project - Cleaning Up L4150
