Removal of Super C rock Shaft

Anonymous-0 · Feb 19, 2009

Is there any special skill to remove the right side rock shaft off of a Farmall Super C or is it just a case of removing the nut and "hoping" it will come off?

Should come off easily.

Retcol: The right side comes relatively easy as the shaft is tapered. Left is a bit more difficult and usually one has to remove the rockshaft assembly from the touch control unit. At least that has been my experience.

Is it the whole shaft you want to remove or just the arm on the end of it? If just the arm, then you've got the procedure pretty well down. It's a tapered and keyed fit and shouldn't take much more than a tap to pop it off.

Hi i bought a 1952/53
Farmall super c for 350 dollars it did not work at all it was sitting on the side of this mans house for a long time .when i bought it we had to use a winch on a trailer to get it out. anyway me and my dad rebuilt it. we got new rock arms and the right one came off really easy. but we could not get the left arm off and we could not use it because the part where you hoke up the hole arm that moves your snow blade in the front of the tractor was cut off. but there was enough room to put the new arm on so we put it on in front of the old one. but when u move the left touch control lever the old arm moves but not the new one because it was not in the key. so i was wondering do u know how to get the left one off i read your post on how to get the right one on but did not understand so u just have to take the whole shaft off? is that hard or what fill me in?

I have taken the outside off so many times I think I could do it in my sleep. To remove the outside arm remove the nut. Use the touch control to stagger the location of the inside (left) and outside (right controlled) shafts. The right control should be all the way up and the left all the way down so that the arm to be removed is all the way forward. Use a dickey bar or other heavy iron bar to tap from the opposite side of the tractor. I usually gave it one good rap with a buggy axel and it came right off. (We removed it every year to mount a one row corn picker.) If it does not come off easily, you may need to heat to break the rust. I have been told that you have to remove the entire shaft to remove the inside (left) arm. Oil the tapered shaft well before you install the new arm. Larry

Thanks for your advice. I drove it off this morning with a big pin and a hammer.
