Description
When your classic Ford Major starts wandering down the road or you feel that loose, unsettling wobble through the steering wheel, it’s time to rebuild those front-end components. Loose steering or front-end wobble in these tractors means worn stub axle components that need attention to restore solid, predictable handling and safe operation. This comprehensive kit gives you everything needed to rebuild one side of your front axle assembly and get back that tight, responsive steering feel these workhorses were known for.
What You’re Getting
- Complete kit includes stub axle, bearings, seals, and bushings for one side
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle years of field and road work
- Precision machined components ensure proper fit and smooth operation
- Quality seals prevent dirt and moisture from destroying bearings
Built for Real Farm Work
Ford Major, Super Major, and Power Major tractors were the backbone of British agriculture through the 1950s and 60s, and many are still earning their keep today on smaller farms and specialty operations. These front axles take constant abuse from field work, road travel, and loader operations, and worn components create dangerous steering problems that make your tractor wander unpredictably or become difficult to control with heavy implements.
Made to Last
This isn’t a quick-fix kit with cheap components that’ll fail in a season. These stub axles start with quality forgings and get machined to the precise tolerances your bearings need for long service life. The seals and bearings are built to handle the dust, moisture, and constant flexing that comes with farm work.
Installation Notes
This job requires mechanical skills and proper tools, including bearing pullers and presses, and you should plan on having the tractor down for most of a day. Even if only one side seems worn, consider replacing both sides since they typically wear at similar rates. This is perfect winter shop work when you have time to do the job right and get your Major ready for another season of reliable service.
