Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration

The driveshaft ended up being a very sticky wicket. I procured what I thought were appropriately sized U-joints. Turns out the cups were .004 too big. Which turns out to be a problem. When I tried to press them in, I squeezed a yoke. I was able, with difficulty, to procure a replacement. I thought I could open up that small amount with a brake hone, but I was wrong. So I decided to just take them to a machine shop, but they seemed to have more trouble than I did. Long story short, a second replacement yoke had to be procured and the machine shop sent me home with a big bill, one yoke done, and reamer to get the rest done myself -which I did.
