Rear wheels binding

Your will have to remove the differential lock shifting mechanism. I am old and can't remember much. The bolts that hold the ring gear were sheared on the FX24D that I worked on but they will have to be removed on yours. Not sure it makes any difference before or after the unit removal. I did not remove the pinion so I cannot advise you on that. You can go back to the thread I attached in post 22 to see pictures in different stages.

I have been looking at your post often!!! It's very helpful. This is the first time digging into something like this so I'm just hoping I can put it back together!

Can you tell me the best way to get the pins out? 20200713_105116.jpg

Thanks. I just went for it. Taped them out and got everything out. Now to find parts. It's 43 teeth but it not only had a few broken teeth, it cracked apart too.20200713_121421.jpg20200713_121429.jpg

The FX24D had 43 teeth, wonder if it isn't the same gear. part #194555-31300 for ring & pinion, they are available, do you have the part # for yours?

Funny the last set of numbers are the same.

Post # 54 shows some of the broken teeth are dark, and some shiny. I wonder if this ran a long time with a couple of teeth missing then finally a fragment jammed.

I got the gear set from Sheaffer's Town & Country Tractor.

ring and pinion are sold as set. Probably not suppose to do it but I only changed the ring gear. I did blue and check the tooth contact and so far as I know GWsmith is still using his tractor.

I've done that too, and with pinions that showed scarring. It always seemed to work out OK....at least I never heard of a problem. You want to try to figure out the "why" of the failure if you can. In tractors it is often the diff lock. When I couldn't find a cause of ring and pinion failure I'd be inclined to blame it on the diff. lock. They are hazardous things.

I just noticed the other day that I've still got the same old tube of Prussian blue that I must have bought back in the 1960s. In that time I've been though several cans of blue dykem - so its easy to know which I prefer.

The thing I worried about a lot was if a bearing had gotten worn and caused the ring to shift relative to the pinion. So take a close look at the bearings. However, keep in mind that those bearings are huge and turn slowly....so they do tend to hold up. Rear axle bearing failures on tractors are rare. Seal failures are more common. A bearing going bad will almost always cause the seal to start to leak, but the reverse isn't true. Seals sometimes just start leaking for no reason I can tell, and the bearing is fine.
