I have a farmall h which was never converted to electric start so I always have to use the crank, well today when I tried to start the tractor the crank kept slipping off the crank pulley. I got to looking and the end of the shaft that grips the crank pulley is rounded off. My question is does the front bolster have to come off to replace the shaft? Does anyone even sell a new shaft or do I have to find a used one? Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks Bob

Bob, I just had mine all apart on my H about a month ago. The whole crank assembly can be removed without taking the bolster off the tractor. There is a pin (the spring side) under the sleeve over the part that engages into the crankshaft. That sleeve can be really rusted to to that big shaft after years of mud and radiator leaks. I had to pound on mine a lot to get it to slide back to expose the pin. Once you get that pin out, there is a cotter pin in the shaft that comes out the front of the tractor. You need to remove that so that shaft can be pushed out making room for the big shaft to slide out. Of coarse you have to remove the bottom sheetmetal cover (if there is one there) to get at all this mechanism. Once you get it apart you can either try to grind out the slots or get a different one at a tractor salvage yard (I doubt there are new ones available). You probably should replace the pin connecting the two shafts as mine was really worn. I just cut a bolt the same length as the existing pin. I hope I discribed it OK. Roger

Bob, if I remember right that is just a pin through the end of the shaft, could you not drill it out and drive a knuraled ( not spelled right ) pin in the hole. Maybe heat the shaft some so it will swrink on the pin.

Try using a Dremel tool (or equivalent) with a small round stone to grind the notch deep enough for use.
