Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
That bottom bearing in question is another one of those moments where will and frustration and the lack of a blow torch made for some fun. It took a 20 ton press to get the new one all the way back on. Since the original snap ring was sprung on removal, I went back with a conventional round end ring. This was a concession too...I couldn't get an .10 ring in the groove and had to concede a .05 thickness ring. I can't imagine it would fail in this circumstance, but my replacement is definitely less robust again than the original.
