Hi Guys,

A long time ago I ran into this same problem. A stuck front-end tube.

I took a 766 and anchored the tractor/front end to it's drawbar via a chain. Then I took a 656 from the other side and chained up laterally to the stuck tube and gave 'er a yank. Out she came.

I'm just about at that point now; this thing is really frozen tight. :>(

I refuse to use heat on any tractor or machine unless I'm trying to destroy it. :>)

Allen, Old trick , very little sweat involved , no damage done . Small torch , wax toilet seal. Apply enough heat to let wax flow into crack . When wax goes all the way through shut torch off , go have glass of tea . Come back when cool pull out with pinky finger . Honest !!!! I"ve pulled bull dozer gears this way after people broke pullers on them . When done correctly you won"t need the rattle can to cover marks . Try it you"ll be convinced honest . Mike

I used to thin stp with gas and apply this to the front and rear axles on my jd 730 and 3010 so they moved easy when moving the wheels out for my 3-16 spiner plow worked great the stp thined with gas you could pump with an oil can and the gas would evaporate and just leaave the stp.

Easy Boy. Now think this out! You are thinking about pulling on the front end with another tractor and hoping, I assume that it will move right in the spot where you intend? OK picture this. Working into next week putting a new front end tube in the thing. May I so kindly suggest some alternatives? A porta power or 12 ton jack pushing against a pair of grade 8 bolts through 1 inch thick steel mounted through any open holes in the tube and then a love tap with the mallet. Ok maybe a hard hit. If something gives or turns a bit while you are tugging with the tractor, you could have a bend in that tube so fast that you won't set it back in ever. My 806 had not been moved in over 35 years till last year and by soaking it for a few days and then yes, applying some heat to expand and break the rust seal out it came with little taps by the sledge. That small amount of heat won't hurt anything and you are going to need the rattle can anyway so cover up the sins and go have fun. Migraine

Yeah I know,

But, I'm always in a derned hurry.

I tried the handyman jack last night and couldn't budge the derned thing. This morning I tried rotating it with a 6' heavy wrecking bar and a 10' well-pipe cheater on the end of that. All I did was bend the wrecking bar. :>)

I don't mean to drop the clutch on 'er; just give it a little "bump" with that log chain. Actually, I've done this on a lot of frozen things and have gotten away with it.

It is that "bent" tube you describe that has me holdin' off so far. More soaking, I guess. :>)

Allan, I saw your post on Red Power about this. I replied there about how I got a tough one broken loose a few years ago. Weldon
