I posted a message a couple weeks ago about replacing the orings and bushings on my torsion bar after it decided to dump a couple gallons of oil. Darndest thing is that I was going to have my IH mechanic friend do it as the price seemed reasonable and was going to have him adjust the clutch,etc. while he had it. The morning he was to come get it his mother passed away. In the mean time my wife decided to take the money designated for this repair and buy curtains, etc. for the house. Looks like now I will have to do it myself. I have the tools except for the puller to pull arms off ends of splinned torsion bar. Are these normally stuck on pretty good? Is there a special puller? Is there a special puller for the bushings? Special tricks or tips?

Thanks T. Vet
Well, don't have to worry about the good welder part. I am a certified pipeliner for 20+ years. I know I can always depend on you when I need an answer. Wish I had a few days to come spend at your shop. I am sure I will have more when I bite this off in a few days.

Mike , sometimes they come wright out the other time the fight is on and i have spent the better part of the day just getting one side out . No there is no special tool that i know off but this is what i have done . Firts ya have to be a realy good welder and weld a 5/8th to 3/4 inch bolt with out the head on the bolt to the pin then use a pice of schedual 40 or better pipe of 1 1/4-1 1/2 dia. and what ever length ya need as a collar and some heavy flat washers a nut and some lube on the bolt and washers and a Rose bud tip on the tourch and have at it . Don't worry about the O/Rings as your going to replace them anyhow. Ya need to pull the pto and the top link cover becareful when removing the PTO as it must be tipped to clear the pickup tube and it is fragel . use a cherry picker to handel the pto . got a problem ya know where i am at.
