Hi, very good video that helped me immensely when I replaced the half shaft seals in my Universal four Nuffield, i took the half axle off because the washer between the final drive cog and the bearing had broken into pieces and there was extreme end float of the half shaft, made a new thick washer and its all back together again with just zero end float

Hay Rick and and of course the photographer very well....I love your channel, have bought a Nuffilfid universal 1955 model hehe,, greetings from the cold Nor. Norway ;-)

Good Video series. A true service to humanity. . Thanks

Hello Rick, I have to say how helpful this video has been to me whilst sorting out my leaking half shafts. However, I believe I heard a yawn from the camera operator during the film. I think it's time you swapped places and let Mary do some tractoring!! Regards Andrew (nice to see you at Carrington)

I have been round nuffield tractors for 55+ years, I know every nut bold and washer and have replaced more than one halfshaft was advised bye nuffield machanic all ways replace bearings with new ones. as for copper slip just a little round the axle just were the bearing sits.I drive a large grimme varitron harvester and replace every bearing on the multi sets 32 bearings in all, whether they need replacing or not as like a halfshaft not a quick job if you need to do it fast.

Mr montegoson i have a question about which way the wear sleeves go onto the halfshaft

Very helpful, thanks.

Hi Iv got Nuffield universal and the clutch pressure plate we are struggling to get remove it. Any suggestions ?

Hi Rick and apprentice . Why would a Nuffield 4/65 get so hot it feels like it will burn your skin , after a couple of hours work . I have a 344 ,do exactly the same work and the gearbox on the 344 is only warm to touch . Is this an oil issue or something more ? Both gearboxes have the same part numbers and the casting dates are 18 months apart . Any ideas ????? Thanks in advance . Johno .

they are two and a half inch. but a socket wont fit as they are eight sided!

Hi Rick have a Leyland 253 with a leaking half-shaft will the procedure be the same on this small tractor and where can I purchase a suitable seal kit nothing turns up on ebay thanks for the very informative video's on the nuffield..also have a 460

great work,,did you reuse the old,, bearing

Hi. Many thanks for all the very informative nuffield videos! I am restoring a nuffield universal 3. Do you know if the mudguards for the universal 3 are the same as for the 10/42 10/60 3/42 4/60 and 4DM. I am looking at part numbers NT5594/NT5595. Many thanks in advance for any info 👍😁

Hi ric I'm doing the same seal on a Layland 270 it is the same as this Nuffield where I have to take off the hydraulic casting but I'm having trouble removing the casting and was wondering how you get it off I have removed all bolts and pto shaft but something it still holding the casting in at the bottom do you have any ideas Thanks

Is it the same process for late leylands and mashall have an 804 leaking on both sides

Diff lock?

Has he ever used copper slip,if not he would get on better removing bearings ect, he should no better, and all so do not fit old bearing replace with new one, and when you fit new bearing heat it up a little in oil it will fit with ease,

Hello ric, do you know the diameter of the seal carrier please.

please do you remember the size of the large nuts on the half shafts? Thank you
