Background:  X000 series Ford tractors were made in Britan (all) and models to be converted in the USA to shipped minus front axles to Michigan assembly plant. 

Conversion kits were installed. 

Thus, this was not an after-market conversion, but manufacturer approved modification. 

 Individuals have contacted me, and I can account for 6-10 at least in the USA.  .  While I have a rare tractor, the facts about it are becoming less rare.

Differential Oil Seal               NAPA SKF 27430

Differential Input bearing      NAPA SKF HM903249

Differential Input Race           NAPA SKF HM903210

NordLoc Washer                    FASENAL M14 Split Part Number 1140386

Recently, I have done major work on the tractor.  I split it, remove the transfer and replaced mounting bolts with longer allen head bolts and NordLock washers. 

Cleaned the filter screen and changed the paper element.  Removed the PTO shaft, replaced bearing, seal and both lock-ring keepers. 

I will post a list  of the parts I had on  hand and those that actually were used. 

Splitting a 4x4 and getting to that rear paper filter is a hellov-alot more difficult than a 2WD tractor. 

This is a difficulty factor 10 of 10.

Issue:  Front Drive Shaft U-Joints wore out.  Local NAPA and all other local suppliers jumped from 87mm width to 1.03mm.. 

This was an external locking ring METRIC U-joint.  Machine service of Green Bay Wisconsin stocks them. 

Local NAPA kept trying to measure as SAE.  Finally, I measured and just ordered them myself.

 Width at cap 96.8mm.

Series 587.10

Part # 5-392x $85 each plus shipping. Thankful for VISA and telephonic ordering.

Schindler axles are found in Ford, Massey Ferguson tractors and JCB backhoes. To this date, I have not found a parts source for Schindler axles. I have now replaced several parts on and in the axle, and I will post the parts, part numbers and sources in the USA for the parts. If you send me other parts that you have replaced, I will validate their availablity and post them also.
