Case 530 Front Spindle

[BEL169]

Hi , looking for help with a Case 530 utility with a HD front axle. Right spindle is loose and in need of repair.
Need to know how to disassemble and remove pin and bushing. Pin moves approx 1/2" . Also need recommendations on repair, i understand that there are very few parts available for the HD clevis type axle See photos attached

Thanks BEL169

I can't comment on parts availability but to say that I would check with Roberts Equipment (in Ohio) West Kentucky Tractor Parts, and Wengers (in Pennsylvania). They have a lot of used parts and parts tractors, so you can probably find a used spindle in good shape. That said, a good machine shop that does smaller jobs can weld up and turn down a spindle and do amazing repairs. I have had several repaired this way, and it was about $150 each time (2 hours of shop time) and the repairs were flawless.

On getting your pins pressed out, a hydraulic press is typically used, either a portable one or remove the entire front axle and take it to a stationary press.

Good luck!
