UPDATE well.. got it freed up... too much oil to use a torch... used a heat gun and held it on there for about 10 minutes and was able to suck some Kroil into the gaps after (what seems like hundreds) of back and forth movements. (hammer and punch with a 3 pound hammer one way, with half expecting b...

interesting (kinda) plot turn. got everything back together and went to adjust things up. everything seemed to be ok until I realized that the brake actuating "collar" and the next one to it are frozen together... (got it to move a bit and now soaking it overnight in some PBPowerblaster... wish I wo...

Well.... just so that everybody knows....that's not the right connector. Off to Mother Deere I go.

tried McMaster by the way.. (one of my favorite websites.. besides this one of course ) I just go on there and look and think to myself.. "That's pretty smart, never knew that existed!".. or "what would you need one of THOSE THAT BIG for?"

it wasn't bypassed, I just broke off what was there....interesting little deal they had on there, looks like someone bent pieces of wire to make their own little spring connector...

thanks... thought it had to be the whole piece of harness. already have Napa coming with one though. but at least this thread should help some other people out.

found it. Talked to a guy dealing with tractor wiring harnesses, and he said its the same as the connector for mid 70s GM air conditioning pumps.

here's what it looks like.

almost done redoing the finals and a few other small things before i head for the swamp with my new steering clutches and brakes. while removing sticks from the belly pan, found I broke off the wires going to the neutral transmission switch broken off. Without getting a new wiring harness from Deere...

Maybe you are already familiar with this website.. but just in case. The style eludes me, just click on the style you want, and call if you need to know how far they open if they don't say (they've been pretty helpful in the past) this seems to be the place if you have something hard to get, (Grade ...

what I was thinking was.. if the bronze disk was on top of the snap ring, it might have kept the hub out far enough that the hub scraped on the spring "cups"... Then wore enough that the spring hit the hub keeping the wear going so that it was able to keep going that deep. someone else suggested tha...

no snap rings missing that I noticed..
Any other ideas to check just in case?
I did end up finding another hub luckily. Thanks for looking btw...

I don't remember exactly how it was when I took it apart. But what do you think about that worn hub that I posted earlier with the groove in it. Do you think that if the bronze disks were put in the same way, (with none of them put behind the snap ring) that it could cause that damage? ( I keep goin...
