Does anyone here have a unique tip to remove the top cover off the transmission housing on a Farmall SH. This also has the belt pulley mounted on the front side of this. The tractor is completely tore down to this point.

I was able to get all the bolts up well enough but its so tight you would think it was welded together. I see too that the belt pulley has a stud on each side that needs to be pulled up before that can completely removed.

My thoughts this far ... Bolt down a chain link to the cover and using a floor crane, apply pressure and start thumping the housing with a heavy wood block.

If you have any other magic tricks to go at this please pass them on. I would crushed if I tore this up attempting to get it apart.

I am in the same situation as you, on my 43 H. Broke 3 bolts off of the transmission cover. Have my engine hoist hooked up putting lift pressure on it. Not even a sign of it coming loose.

May have to figure out a way to drill the broken bolts out, the rust is probably keeping the cover from sliding up past the bolts third party image

If you don't have the belt pulley housing off, you don't have all the bolts out. You gotta take the belt pulley off first. Then you can see all the bolts. As I recall, the two bolts on top of the pulley housing go all the way through into the transmission housing. I have done this once, and had no trouble after all the bolts were out. I used a putty knife and paint scraper in the joint to break it loose. I used a shop crane with bolts in the seat mounting holes and an engine lift equilizer for balance to lift the thing. Caution!!! It's very heavy.

Thank you Pat ..

This was intended as a roadmap along my way. A simpler method to share progress I make with others.

By chance even help the next guy fumbling his way through the way I am.

I have been combing through these archives for months now until recently signing up to make some noise too.

Are you sure you've got all the bolts out? There's one under the fuel tank support on the M's, and it seems like the H too.

You think you have problems -- I hung my 460U by the cover for a week before I finally got it loose. Those are much thicker and there were a couple of broken rusted bolts holding it. If you have all the bolts out, use a thin rigid paint scraper to pry it loose. You can carefully tap it between the top and trans case. I remove the belt pulley first.

Becarefull forcing it off. I have seen several get cracked at the step down for the belt pulley. Those threaded rod looking things are studs and are removed by putting on a nut and tightening it down, the stud will pull up and out. Belt pulley should be off when removing the cover. Also remember the cover is one big chunk of cast iron and it has the shifter forks going down to the trans gears so be careful to lift it as straight as possible and from the left side first. You will want to have help for this! I would do it by hand so nothing gets forced. I used a stiff bladed putty knife to get it started and went around the sides carefully with several screw drivers and gently pried it up. Mine was stuck pretty good also but it weighs so much it fooled me to think it was stuck worse than it was. Are you the guy on the north side of Indy? I will be on N College ave near 86th for Thanksgiving and could pop by if you need. Bad day for messing with tractors, but I don"t get up there that much and could spare a few minutes. My family has been in the area since 1840s and other relations since 1816. Good to know a farmall is still around there! There used to be a bunch of them up there!

Why yes this is Indy's North side. I will be traveling for Thanksgiving this year too so I will have little time for "fun stuff".

I do appreciate your offer though... thank you very much Bob and Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you too for the pointers ... Red Rules :-)
