fbh31118 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Anyone had this joint apart before? I'm considering tearing this apart and repairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Can't say that I have. I have seen the joint before. Some other application. Doesn't appear that the pins fit the holes. I can think of three possibilities. Ream the blocks and weld in oversize pins. Build up and remachine or replace with the more common ujoint. Just out of curiosity. Is this the 1940 H your handle indicates or is this a wartime tractor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Doctor Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My 1941 has the same joint. I have never taken it apart but did remove some washers to tighten it. Mine has a grease zerk in one of the pins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to memorize it to gets parts one day and thought it would make a cool handle, 20 plus years ago. The H in the picture is a 1943 44 minutes ago, Diesel Doctor said: My 1941 has the same joint.

Mine is slopped out enough that I need to do something but just trying to decide what I want to do with it. I was curious what was on the inside but wanted to keep as much of it original as I can. Not really worth the extra work but not awful either. This one has the grease zerk in one end as well but I couldnt find the picture of it.

Binderoid Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have one like that also on early M. My plan for rebuilding was to remove the pins from the yokes and make new stepped ones, with the oversized ends on the insides of the yokes, then bore the bearing cross to fit the oversized pins. But add shims to the cross before boring, so you have some means of tightening it up in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
