No such luck getting it apart. Lots of heat applied to the tube (red hot) and two 24" pipe wrenchs and my buddy helping me. I finally decided to see what a new tube will cost from IH.

Before you put the new one on, use some anti-seize compound so next time you want it apart it will come right out.

Place it on an anvil/rail/etc. Use a two pound hammer and a sharp 3/4" cold chisel. Start at the end of the clamp slot and put a groove in the metal, 1/2 the thickness of the tube wall, going in the same direction. the displaced metal will swell the outer tube enough to loosen the rod, without deforming the shape or appearance much.

Do you relize just how far the tierod goes into the tube on a 1066 and how much you will weaken the tube by doing that and what would happen if ya hit a dead farrow and that tube split and the wheel turn and stop and then there is a vary good chance that you would break the ft. axel off they do break as a 1066 is a vary heavy tractor as it can weigh in up to 20000 lbs fully loaded and if you are worken ground in high 1st or 2nd and you break a tierod and the ft wheel goes goofe and snaps that ft. axle off you could end up flyen off the seat and off the tractor as they do stop real fast . Many years ago this happen to me when i was mowen gas line wright of way and found a BIG hole and the ft axel found it and snaped off and i was throwen over the hood just vary lucky that the tractor stalled and stopped dead or i would have been run over and malulched up and spit out in vary fine littel pices . So if that tierod will NOT COME APART With a littel heat or the hdy pressen of grease being pumped into it or pulled apart then it is as plain as the nose on your face THROW IT AWAY AND GET A NEW ONE> Think SAFTEY IT"S YOUR LIFE you are screwen with.

TV - I fully agree with the weakening of the tube by using a chisel! I would never do this and then feel safe with that part afterwards.
BAD IDEA!

If you are going to use the GAS AX Then heat it up good and hot and then dump it into water as this will chrush the rust and take a hammer and tap up and down and all around the tube whiel adding penatrating fluid to it sometimes ya have to get them to go in before they will come out and yes they can try you state of mind i have had some real tough one's but have always got them to come apart and other trick is , now here i go giving away trade secrets drill it tap it to 1/4-28 and put a grease fitting in the tube below the rod and put the grease gun to it and PUMP It out act's like a hdy press from the inside.

I replaced one on my brother's 856. I don't remember what finally worked, but you could, as a LAST resort, cut the tie rod end off, set the tube on end an use a hyraulic bottle jack to push it down into the tube. What to press against though is up to you to find. This worked for me when I freed up the steering on his haywagon. Keep and open mind and try anything once, but be safe about it.

Mike,

Before you do that, take your handyman jack and lay it on it's side. Betcha you can "jack" that thing apart.

They are a beast sometimes. Last one I did took a day and a half. They will come eventually give, tho.

This one fought me every bit of the way.

When it is on the tractor, you can put the base of a handy man jack on the inner eye and the business end of the jack on the outer.

Then, just jack the thing apart. I had to use a 6' cheater pipe on the jackhandle.
