Planning AOG on JD 6530.
have not yet decided, but one of the options would go for the genuine WAS.
There’s a great video of some guy drilling the axle of a Fendt
but neither I have a lathe nor am I comfortable to drill on security relevant parts.
But the process seems quite similiar to change the parts by genuine or equivalent ones.
So I scanned the spare part list and looked for prices at GRANIT, when I found that most of the parts are available from a company named “DANA SPICER” as well. Odds are that they even produce the axle for John Deere.
(Remark: the pos numbers refer to the John Deere part list and do not match the DANA image above)
The sensor itself, I could not found from DANA, but 116 € for the JD seems quite a common price for such a thing.
Had not one in my fingers yet, so no clue on the pinout and electric properties, whether they are simply mechanical potentiometers or some active electronic circuitry with whatever signal. So may be wise to start with the sensor.
Dear mechanics, what’s the estimated effort to change this parts?
Just lift the axle a bit and pull the plate off?
I’t a 2008 made tractor, so odds of rust are quite high…
From the images it is hard to see whether part 52 (DANA numbering) fits through the bearing or whether the bearing has to be pulled as well.
When I have to see my garage, total price ma multiply…
You need to pull the pin out #51 which could be rusted but I got mine loose by hammering chisels underneath the cap and hammering the side of cap to make it turn. The bearing is a tapered roller bearing , might need to pry out the dirt seal but bearing comes out by hand
hmmm.
it has better resolution in the relevant area, but may just go black/white at oversteering?
As far as I got it, it does not have a mechanical limit, so nothing gets broke
