- I rebuilt the whole front end of my Ford 3600 I hope this is usefull to someone if you need any details I dident show let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to answer your questions.
You should pack the axel bearings regardless of weather you have grease fittings on the hubs.
Wish you would have spent more time on the axle knee that needed repair. My Jubilee axle knees appear to be worn in a similar condition. Would have liked to see how the bushings fit back in properly, if possible. May end up putting in old and new bushings to make a sleeve for the spindle.
Cannot find any info on the web. Yours came the closest.
Thank you for that.
Sorry I dident show what you were looking for this was the first few months of making videos, so I was super bad at it. Still learning and getting better. The bushings should be a press fit into the knee and close running fit on the spindle, about .002"-.005" clearance on the diameter of I remember correctly. I was able to find prints on the spindles with the factory journal diameter on yesterday tractors not sure if they have the same kind of drawings for yours but it's worth a look. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way.
would love to hear the science on fine vs corse thread bolts.
More surface area no?
@@blacklisterd it's not about surface area it's the cross-section diameter
I Googled Ford front Axle knee and found some on ebay. New and used. Does this part differ between the 3000 and a 4000.? I would think it would be the same
As I recall the parts I bought were compatible with 4000 series tractors as well as my 3600.

How did your project turn out?
@@dennislong7852 well the new spindles I got were not fully machined so I finished them and it turned out the heat treatment one one of them was bad and it sheared in half the first time I used it... They sent me another one which was correct and it's been running great ever since!😁
@@GRTRanchadventures I know my bushing is wore out cuz the axle actually tilts forward probably about 25° or so making it hard to steer. I enjoyed your video that gave me a little idea of what what I'm up against when I go to replace mine. Tks
