Re: Diff issues
Hi Tom
I'm building the 4" SCC however a similar thing happened when I put my diff on. The first problem was one of the bolt head on the hornplate was catching and needed to be ground down, the next problem was the actual top of the hornplate, this was easy to spot as when the diff turned it put a nice gouge in the paint, atleast I knew where to grind, the third problem was another bolt head was catching on the brake ring, I don't know if the agricultural has the same brake as the SCC? This problem was highlighted in the instructions, now it turns smoothly without any binding.
I hope the above helps.
