What happens here

This project details the process of bringing an old, non-functional Massey Ferguson 65 tractor (affectionately named 'Earl') back to life. The main issue was a disintegrated wheel bearing that damaged the planetary gears in the axle housing. The project involves disassembling the axle, replacing the wheel bearing, replacing damaged planetary gears, cleaning and reassembling all components, applying new seals and gaskets, and finally re-mounting the wheels with new tires and performing a test run.
