| Its been a while since Ive been on here, but I can't find anything about this in search anymore so Im going to ask again. I have a 7060 with worn spindle bushings. I ordered new bushings and washers, but need to get the steering arms off. I heated one up with a rosebud, but only had it red in a couple places since I was running out of oxygen. Then I dumped a couple 5 gallon buckets of water on it... and nothing. Not enough heat or did I do something wrong? |

get two torches with rosebuds to get er hot!! she needs to be glowing all around. then beat the heck outta with with a hammer, 4lbs hammer or so, hit on the back side/tie rod side, be prepared to hit it for a while, you can douce it in cold water, but when i did ours i didnt really notice a difference, key is to get it as hot as you can.

| Remove the front tire/wheel. Remove the tie rod from the arm. Remove the axle knee from the axle and turn it upside down and reinstall it. Let the tractor down on a solid support and beat on it from above instead of underneath. I've seldom used any heat this way. |

| I beat on it a little, but was affraid of swelling the spindle shaft. If I flip the spindle over do I let the spindle set on something or just the axle tube and beat on the arm? |

If the top of the shaft is mushroomed even a little it won't come off,BTDT,I used a belt sander around the top of the shaft.

Yeah, but what I was trying to understand was if you were resting the tractor weight on the axle or on the spindle that is upside down. I ended up resting it on the spindle to use the tractor weight with my hammer force. It moved it but im gonna need to go get some more oxygen.

| No don't set it on the spindel. Set support under axel housing. The shaft has a key and the key won't go through the bushing. MACK |
