1958 transmission / gear issue?

Postby Dualing Cubs » Tue Jun 25, 2013 7:17 am

I was plowing yesterday for pumpkins and just about finished when the tractor let loose like it popped into neutral . First I hear a slight clicking in the left wheel and then it let loose. It doesn't move in any gear but you can hear the axel free spin. Before I pull it a apart I wanted to hear your ideas which will help me organize my game plan better. I can finish the field with the 59 but I really need both tractors going because someone always breaks on one and I always need the other lol.

You may have broken the shaft going form the differential to final drive on one side or the other. hopefully the left one. I did that on one of mine several years ago. I had my Howard Despeeder engaged to slow my speed down while mowing a former calf pasture, and the end of the flail caught a half buried rail road tie I did not know was there. Popped the left shaft without even opening the governor. Remove the transmission oil filler plug and with the tractor running and in gear, look in the hole (need a light) and see if the differential is spinning. If so you have most likely broken the shaft on one side or the other. You will need to jack it up then and see which wheels spins the differential and which one does not. the one that does not is the bad side, and you will have to remove the final on that side. Not to big a job.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Thanks John! I thought this might be the case . I haven't begun to source the part but where did you source a new one?

So far as I know, new ones are not available, but good used ones can be had both from the sponsors that show at the bottom of the page and from members that advertize in the for sale section. Make sure what the problem is before you order parts. If it is the top shaft in the final drive you will have to remove the final and then remove the brake drum. Then remove the plate on the outside and the shaft with bearing slides out that way. It is a good time to replace the seal on the differential and the seal on the final drive. I assume you know this, but the shaft on the left and right are different.

Re: 1958 Sheered bull

Postby Dualing Cubs » Sun Feb 28, 2016 7:47 pm

Well after a few years I have finally revisited this tractor . The diagnosis is a sheered LH bull pinion shaft... It seems that the bearing had come apart and the shaft twisted and snapped .

So I will be looking for another shaft and to order a new bearing . I need to disassemble the lower section of the bull gear and pull all the pieces out as well. Since I am in there I am going to inspect the lower bearing.

Does anyone have any part numbers or bearing specifications for the bearing on the LH Bull Pinion shaft ? which is the upper shaft . And if anyone off hand might have a spare shaft? I could borrow one from my 48 but I really don't want to rob it right now .

Hey Josh, I guess you were lucky these last three years. :D

John has you headed in the right direction. Good luck with it.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Thanks for that link . I have schematics of the parts from a manual but didn't have part numbers.

. The tractor has been sitting for the past three years with a broken shaft. Life had other things more important to deal with.

I also have a bull gear, the spacers and an axle, if Coppersmythe can't help you. I'm in Chapel Hill, NC. Not positive I will be at Boss', but it is a good possibility.

good news . case has a decent amount of parts available that I would want to change while taking all of this apart like the brake drum and bearings . I might get a better price on the bearing from another supplier though. I am happy about the brake drum being available though. JP tractor has the bull pinion shafts as well.

Ok so having never pulled these parts off the tractor off I am wondering what is the purpose for the different shims shown in this diagram and how can I tell what I will need if I need new shims ?

I have not yet pulled the retainer .
