Hello,

I removed the senzor shaft and the old, worn-out seal components. Now I want to replace it with the new seals and fix it with a totally new shaft, axle....

The Teflon rings are hard-how can I put them in their location... How could I soften them... should I put in worm or hot water before... or what should I do....

The L/D lever under seat is positioned in D, I need just to plug in the new shaft to its place and the job its finished?!!!!

Warm the teflon seals in warm water. Apply hyd oil to shaft prior to installation.

After all you must do the shimming with special shims !

historyan1975 · Mar 11, 2020

Hi,

could tell me more exactlyy where sholud I shimming, what does it consist this special shim... please?

historyan1975 · Mar 11, 2020

Hi,

I have quite a lot of problems.... I put in the O-ring to there location, after that warmed the Teflon ring in hot water, but I did not really manage to put it in.... After trying more times, the ring was damaged.... Finally, I put the other ring, inserted the new shaft / soo one side is fixed and its seems to me quite good. Now I dont have more rings, soo I already ordered new ones.... Soo now one side of the shaft is fixed, and for the other side I wait for the new plastic rings....

In my opinion, it could be fixed perfectly and easily if I would pull out the entire T22097 bushing... I am right?!

Sincerelly, Benedek J.

You put shims between the tractor T22097 bushing and the lower lift arm to take up the play.

Why do you think removing the T22097 bushing will solve your problem? John Deere specifically advises against doing that. The reason is the bushing is pressed in. R & R of it could cause it to wear the transmission case where it installs and cause a leak. Or too loose a bushing.

Did you heat the Teflon ring in hot water, then bend into a "C" insert and open back up to round?

I've done my 2030 twice, but I did not replace the shaft. It does not leak bad enough for me to spend the money on the shaft

:2cents: :ashamed:

Yes, I understand, I will put sims between tractor bushing and the lift arm... Different thickness of rings, wide and narrow ones, as is needed... We will make with turrning-machine... to have no clucking between the pieces...

You have right again - I also so thought to this but unfortunatelly too late.... If the ring is bended - the diameter will increase....

The old shaft was too worn-out, it was recomended to be replaced, and it was not expensive, it cost mee only 30 US dollar.

DLTTrekkers · Mar 12, 2020

No 19 is the shim. Order 6 of them and add as needed.
Do not make them ! It s hardened shims and not washers !

DLTTrekkers · Mar 12, 2020

A shaft that is moving from side to side act as a hacksaw and will distroy your new seals!

historyan1975 · Mar 12, 2020

Thanks for observation, I going to be attentive that the shaft be fixed correctly..

historyan1975 · Mar 12, 2020

I know that the shims its not an usual type of metal.... If I manage to find original ones, I will buy....

Could you tell me a JD-code of the nr. 19 shim?

DLTTrekkers · Mar 12, 2020

For that I will need the thickniss of that shaft . It may not be the origanile 22mm or 27mm

2 different thrust washers are shown. One washer is 13/32" X 11/16" X 0.035" & the other washer spec's are in photo below. Load control shaft diameter is listed at 0.815''

$30! I should check the cost for my 2030, I figured it would be 5x that price. When I bought shims, ID was too small. IIRC I only saw one P/N in JD parts. I'll have to double check.

Shaft for my 2030 is P/N L26937 $134.82 diameter .877. They list two thrust washer P/Ns. R42929 1.000 ID 1.850 OD .036 thick, and P/N R66197 .850 ID 1.440 OD .036 thick. I am guessing I bought R66197.

DLTTrekkers · Mar 12, 2020

The thick shaft can be used by replacing the bushes in the casting. Thats the reson to mesure the shaft !

historyan1975 · Mar 12, 2020

Yes, the shaft diameter is 0,815 inch, soo 20,7 mm (20,68 mm after measuring)..

I found now new washer on the online store.... Should I order 6 pieces or more?Washer r66197 - DefendAgro.ro

An other problem - the linkage balls from the two lower lift arms (left and right) are clutching verry match in their housing (almost 1 inch /from left to right)...

For this reason I sent this arms to a repair shop to fix it this problem....

historyan1975 · Mar 15, 2020

Hi everyone,

I think I manage to resolve the oil leak problem.... Put in the new Teflon rings, refilled with Hy Gard-oil and it seems there is no oil leaking...

Now I am waiting the lower lift arms, they are under reconditioning....

Thanks everyone for your advice and help,

sincerelly,

See the flat side on the ball . That will be the correct one to use as a wel-on on your arms

historyan1975 · Apr 12, 2020

Hi, I wish you Happy Easter...

I would like to ask something about the L/D selector level. I read in a description that I have the use the L position mainly for plough, ploughing. and use the D position for other agricultural machines, like seeders, mowing machines, rakes or rotary machines. Finally, I use the L/D position, if the lifting is too fast and intermittent.
Soo question is that I sholud use D only for ploughing and L for other jobs, machineries? For disk-harrow - again - position D??

Sincerelly, Benedek J.
