Poured in two quarts of oil, and saw new oil leaking down the back of the front pulley. The archives show that the BIG nut turns CCW and that NAPA sells a socket for $60. Anyone have other suggestiions for the nut removal.(BEG, BORROW, Rent,???)

Other than buying a 3/4 drive socket the only other way to remove the nut is with a hammer an coal chisel. It has been done for years but is frowned upon in some circles. It is really not the right way, but it works.

I would use a 3/4 air impact wrench to remove it.
The hub on that pulley may have a groove from the old seal. Easy fix with a speedi-sleeve if it needs it. You may have a bigger problem removing the pulley. Don't you know of anyone with a 3/4 6 point socket that you can borrow? Hal

Good morning, I stopped at Napa and asked about a socket. No they did nt have one. I came home and tried to make my own tool. I welded three pieces of metal together in the shape of an H, with the cross piece being 2.5 inches long. I may need to add another piece accross it to keep it from spreading while trying to turn the nut. My question now is, How do you keep the crank from rotating?

What size is that nut or bolt head? Sears, Snapon or Mac should have a socket to fit it. I would put the transmission in low gear. A 3/4 impact wrench would remove it. You can probably rent the tools you need. Even Home Depot rents tools. Hal

With the tractor in gear, any rotation of the crank would have the potential to move the tractor forward. What do you support the tractor with to prevent it from falling down? That would be as bad as anything that could go wrong. I guess I should try to Make everything more secure. I bolted a piece of channel to the side rail and forward to the bolster. If I did it to both sides I would feel safer. I do have the brakes set also, but they are not very strong.

I used a 1/2" threaded rod thru the side rail,thru the center hole in crank,thru the second side rail. Put my "H" shaped tool on the nut,applied turning force with a pry bar and hit the side of the tool with a hammer. It turned with out much difficulty at all. Now it is pulley time. I will go buy a seal tomorrow and ask Dealer for his thoughts. I shall win this battle yet.

You got that nut loose very easily. That pulley
is probably a press fit. You should pull the pulley before you buy a seal. If the pulley's hub is grooved from the old seal you will need a speedi sleeve and the seal will come with it.

Here's a web site for a puller using a hydraulic jack or ram. It was designed for a Cub, but you
make one or have it made to fit your pulley. Hal

Thank you for pictures. I am trying something slightly different first, but that puller looks good. I'll see what I can weld up if I chicken out on my idea. SDE

[quote="LA in WI"](quoted from post at 00:59:43 12/31/09) Picture this scene with wire-checked corn:

Just before sunset.

Clear skies.

Slight breeze.

Corn about 6-10" high.

Freshly cultivated.

You are looking from east end of field, with sun glistening off (or thru) the leaves.

You can see all kinds of geometric rows, at many angles.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.
It sure was... although Dad quit check-row planting by the late '40s, I still remember seeing it well into the '50s, at least in NE Iowa. I know Dad never used check-row after going to a mounted planter on the C, I think in 1950, but it had the roll of wire with the planter. When Mom left the farm (mid-'90s) there was a very nice pull type 2 row IH planter left in the barn with the wire and it didn't look like it had ever been un-rolled or the stakes pushed in the ground.

Gordo,
I don't understand what you mean by "knurling" the pistons. How did this make them larger?
