Description

When your old Ford Major starts feeling loose in the steering or you notice that wobble in the front end, chances are the stub axle bushes have done their time. These brass bushes are the critical pivot points that let your front wheels turn smoothly while supporting the weight of your tractor. A worn bush means sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and that unsettling feeling when you’re trying to stay straight down the road or navigate tight spots around the barn.

What You’re Getting

Quality brass construction that handles the constant pivoting and weight loads of farm work
Precision dimensions (50 x 41.4 x 37.6mm) for exact fit in the stub axle assembly
Self-lubricating brass material that reduces friction and extends service life
Direct replacement for worn original bushes – no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This bush fits the legendary Ford Major series that helped modernize farming from the 1950s through the 1960s. Whether you’ve got a standard Major, Super Major, or Power Major, these tractors were built to work hard and keep working. From pulling plows through heavy clay to running haymaking equipment, your Major needs tight, responsive steering to handle whatever job comes next.

Made to Last

Brass was chosen for stub axle bushes because it handles the constant stress of steering loads while naturally resisting wear and corrosion. This isn’t some generic replacement – it’s sized exactly for the Major’s stub axle requirements. The self-lubricating properties of brass mean less maintenance while the material’s strength ensures it won’t crush under load or wear out prematurely.

Good to Know

This job requires pressing out the old bush and installing the new one with proper tools – not something for the weekend mechanic without a press. While you’ve got the front end apart, it’s smart to inspect all the steering components and replace anything else that’s questionable. A little grease on assembly helps with initial break-in.
