FRONT SYSTEM (Tricycle Type) SINGLE WHEEL & FORK Models F40-MH50-MF50 9. The fork mounted single front wheel is carried in taper roller bearings which should be adjusted to provide a very slight rotational drag. To remove the wheel fork, support tractor under engine and remove the grille lower panel. Open the grille door and remove the sheet metal dust cap (17—Fig. MF229). Remove the cap screws (16) retaining thrust plate (14) to upper end of wheel fork and withdraw thrust plate (14) and shim washers (13). Working through opening in the support casting, loosen the clamp bolt retaining steering arm (3) to wheel fork. Raise front of tractor and at the same time, withdraw the wheel fork from below. CAUTION: Wheel fork must not be cocked during removal or seals and needle bearings may be damaged. Examine needle bearings (9 and 12), seals (5, 10 and 11) and needle thrust bearing (6, 7 and 8) and renew any questionable parts. When installing the caged needle bearings (9 and 12), be sure to align the oil hole in the bearings with the oil feed holes in the support casting. Install the wheel fork by reversing the removal procedure and vary the number of shim washers (13) to provide the wheel fork with an up and down end play of 0.002-0.008. Note: The wheel fork and steering arm (3) have a blind spline to facilitate correct installation. DUAL WHEELS, LOWER SPINDLE AND LOWER PEDESTAL Models F40-MH50-MF50 10.

TO35-TO35D-F40-MH50-MF35-MF35D-MF50-MHF202-MF202-MF204 Paragraphs 12-15A 12. WORM SHAFT BEARINGS. To check and/or adjust the steering worm shaft bearings, first loosen the lock nuts and back off the right and left hand sector adjusting screws (31— Fig. MF232) approximately four turns. Attach a spring scale to outer edge of steering wheel and check the amount of pull required to keep the steering wheel in motion after it has crossed the mid or center point of its rotation. The wormshaft bearings are properly pre-loaded when the spring scale reading is Va-l^/^ pounds. If bearing adjustment is not as speci- fied, unbolt steering housing cover from housing and vary the number of shims (26) until the desired bearing pre-load is obtained. Shims are available in thicknesses of 0.002, 0.005, 0.010 and 0.030. 13. SECTOR BACKLASH. With the wormshaft bearings properly adjusted as outlined in paragraph 12, proceed as follows: Turn the steering wheel to the mid (or straight ahead) position (lower ends of Pitman arms over radius rod ball joints) and using a screw driver, turn the adjusting screw for the left hand sector shaft until a spring scale pull of l%-3 pounds (measured at rim of steering wheel) will keep the wheel in motion after it has crossed the mid or center point of its rotation. With the left sector shaft adjusted, turn the adjusting screw for the right sector shaft until a spring scale pull of 3'74-5 pounds (measured at rim of steering wheel) will keep the steering wheel in motion after it has crossed the mid or center point of its rotation. 14. REMOVE AND REINSTALL. To remove the steering gear housing, instrument panel and transmission cover assembly, proceed as follows: Tip hood assembly forward, drain cooling system and disconnect the heat indicator sending unit from the water outlet elbow. Disconnect cable from starting motor and wires from coil, headlights and generator. Disconnect tractormeter cable from generator, choke rod from carburetor and oil gage line from right side of cylinder block. On Diesel models, disconnect tractormeter cable, fuel shut-off control rod and throttle control rod from injection pump; then disconnect oil pressure banjo fitting at left side of block. Remove air cleaner pipe, shut off fuel and remove fuel line. Unbolt fuel tank from its rear support, loosen the fuel tank front support bolts and block up between the fuel tank and rocker arm cover. Loosen the U-bolt assembly from front end of throttle rod. Disconnect battery cables and remove battery. Disconnect tail light wires and wires from starter safety switch. Disconnect drag links from pitman arms, unbolt battery platform from engine, unbolt transmission cover from transmission and lift the steering gear and housing assembly from tractor. 15. OVERHAUL. The steering gear unit can be overhauled without removing gear housing assembly from tractor by removing the battery and the instrument panel and battery platform assembly as outlined in paragraph 15A. Some mechanics prefer to remove the complete gear housing assembly as outlined in paragraph 14 before attempting to disassemble the steering gear. In either case, however, the time involved is about the same. 15A. To remove the instrument panel, tip hood assembly forward, drain cooling system and disconnect the heat indicator sending unit from the water outlet elbow. Disconnect cable from starting motor and wires from coil, -headlights and generator. Dis- connect tractormeter cable from generator and choke rod from carburetor. On Diesel models, disconnect tractormeter cable, fuel shut-off control rod and throttle control rod from injection pump. Remove air cleaner and rubber intake tube and disconnect oil line from gage. Shut off fuel and remove fuel line. Unbolt fuel tank from its rear support, loosen the fuel tank front support bolts and block-up between the fuel tank and the rocker arm cover. Loosen the U-bolt assembly from front end of throttle rod. Dis- connect battery cables and remove battery. Disconnect tail light wires and starter safety switch wires. Re- move the steering wheel nut and using a suitable puller, remove steering wheel from shaft. Remove the steering column felt seal, cap and spring.

Paragraph 16 MASSEY-FERGUSON 16. Disconect drag links from pitman arms and unbolt and pull pitman arms from sector shafts. Unbolt the side cover for the upper sector shaft (36—Fig. MF233) and remove lock nut from screw (31). Using a screw driver, turn the adjusting screw in and remove the side cover and sector shaft. Remove the other side cover and sector shaft in the same man- ner. Unbolt steering housing upper cover from housing and remove cover, shaft and ball nut assembly. Do not disassemble the ball nut assembly (41) as component replacement parts are not available. If the steering shaft and/or ball nut are damaged, renew the complete assembly. The need and procedure for further dis- assembly and/or overhaul is evident. Shims (30) on the adjusting screws (31) are available in thicknesses of 0.063, 0.065, 0.067 and 0.069. When reassembling, use the proper com- bination of shims to provide a very slight amount of clearance between adjusting screw head and slot in sector shafts. When reassembling, install the steering shaft and ball nut assembly and bolt the housing upper cover assembly in position, using the necessary number of shims (26) to very slightly pre-load the shaft bearings. Turn the steering shaft until the ball nut raises to a position where the lower gear tooth on the ball nut is clearly visible through the right side opening in housing. Hold the lower sector shaft (the one with the great- er number of teeth) and side cover assembly with blank portion of gear down and install shaft through right side opening in housing. Mesh sector gear with ball nut so that lower tooth on ball nut meshes with the groove next to the blank portion of sector shaft gear. Install the upper sector shaft, meshing the double punch marked tooth space on upper sector gear with the single punch marked tooth on the lower sector gear. Bolt side covers to steering gear housing and install the adjusting screw lock- nuts. Turn steering gear to its mid or straight ahead position and install pitman arms (longer one on right side) so that drag link attaching holes are directly above the radius rod ball joints. When installation is complete, fin gear housing with lubricant and adjust the unit as outlined in paragraphs 11, 12 and 13. 35 Fig. MF233—Exploded view of modeis TO35 & MF35 manuai steering gear.
