Hinomoto E264

[ray63]

I am a very frustrated owner of a hinomoto e264. I have been trying to find parts for my tractor for the last year. My biggest problem is not knowing what I can use as a substitute front axle parts. My right side barrings are no good as is the wheel hub seal. Can you please tell me how to find parts to work on my tractor? Or what I can replace the front axle with?

Thanks, Frustrated Ray

Sorry to hear your plight. I assume you have done a Google search and tried all the Hinomoto parts sellers and salvage yards (gotta ask)? I am going to assume you have an old bearing from the axle that's not totally destroyed. Is it a very unusual type of bearing that can't be matched using inside, outside and width dimensions of the old one? I am not sure what the seal looks like but if it is an O ring or gasket type, that is easily fabricated or replaced or even use of a product like permatex. If that won't do, I have read several posts where tractor owners were able to replace no longer available seals for their machines ( not talking about Hinomotos specifically) by matching automotive seals from the parts store ( probably not likely and certainly going to take some patience on your part and the counter man but if it comes to this, what are your choices?).

You may also want to look at AGCOs parts website. I don't think any of the Massey Ferguson compact tractors cross over directly to the 264 but I would not at all be surprised if some design and parts do. I would probably look at the 1030, 1035,1040 tractors front axle parts diagrams and see if they match the 264's and you may get lucky and be able to attack the parts problem from that angle. http://www.agcopartsbooks.com/PartsBooksN/Viewer/Default.aspx? I like to use the "browse books" option on left hand side of page to see all models)

For bearings go to a bearing supply ...they will help you better than "the counter man"

Thank you for the information that you have given here. I will definately look on the website that you have listed. And thank you for given me numbers to start with.

Bearing suppliers can usually take the old bearing and either cross match the numbers, or they can get enough dimensions off of it to come up with a replacement. I have done this numerous times with an assortment of Textile machines and old box presses,
Here in NC there is a chain called Dixie Bearings, but there are many other chains out there. The same places usually have a supply of seals too.

I thank you for the post you sent to me. I will do just as you suggest. But, I have run into yet another problem. Now it seems that my tractor needs a whole new front end. Any ideas as to what I can use as substitution parts for the front axle??? I have been told that I can use a massey ferguson front but, I am not sure that the information was correct.

Most of the FWD parts are no longer available. I have several Hinomoto parts tractors & also have made some Hinomoto FWD parts. Let me know what you need & I may be able to supply the parts you need.
