[AT] 504 Farmall bearing cage

[farmall36 at vci.net]

 Mark it would be just like the other ones that I have busted, thin cast 
iron. I am going to go with the cold rolled steel that Jones is going to 
make for me.
Mike S  340 has the same bolster in it as this 504 I think but am sure the 
center is the same. Easy on the bumps groundhog holes ect.
And the trouble with these salvage yards is they wont take apart the front 
bolster for 1 piece, they want to sell the whole thing. Them dudes are 
heavy, what I did last time it broke was pay for the complete bolster and 
then have them remove the 4  3/8 bolts and pull the pivot assymbly out and 
send it. I geuss they scrapped the rest of it. Hopefully this will be the 
last time I have to do this, it is kinda mean getting that gear out of the 
worm with the top bearing semi pressed in and the bottom bearing cage tight 
also. All of a sudden its either in your lap or on the floor dropps like a 
hammer. The 4 bolts are what presses everything back in just work around 1/2 
turn at a time after the gear meshes with the worm enough for the bolts to 
start, mean going back together also.
Thank yall I will keep the info for future use, im always needing something 
for these old Farmalls. And any new place is good to know about.
Someone ask me why I dont sell these old tractors and buy a mahidra, I 
laughed and said I will stay with what we have and welcome any more. Already 
enough junk being shipped into USA from wherever they make them.
I know where our tractors were made at :-)
We did buy a hay mower 3-4 year ago that was made in turkey and it works as 
it should. Seems to anyway after mowing with super C fast hitch pitman arm 
sicle bar.
