super a clutch

I got a new clutch kit for my 1950 super a and the new bearing is a different size than the old, both inside and outside diameter. It looks to me that the bearing and retainer are one piece that are pressed into the housing. How do I remove this, it is frozen solid, and what do I need to get to use the new bearing? Thanks
 
Yout tractor is right in that era where it could have had one of two types of bearings.

One was the conventional flat faced roller bearing that is pressed into a separate carrier. On that one, you could drive out the bearing and replace it with a new one, using teh same carrier.

The other used a block of a graphite compound as a bearing surface, and the block was part and parcel with the carrier. Pretty easily identified by a slight dish running around its face where the fingers spin around it, as if somebody bad pressed a donut into the surface -- usuall very shiny on the face, looks almost like metal. Replacement in that case meant replacing the carrier with a new one that had a new block of bearing material.

So . . . if your old one was the graphite type, and your kit has the roller bearing, you'll need to get a new carrier for the new bearing. They can be had, but they're a dealer part, so you'll have to limber up the wallet.
 
I first ran into that on my '51 Super C.

A quick look through my binder for that tractor didn't come up with the invoice, but as I recall, Bermuda Ken at Carter and Gruenewald (external_link) fixed me right up, and it wasn't terribly exorbitant.
 
I ran into the same problem on my 51 super c. Nothing against Carter and Grunewalde as they have helped a lot with needed parts, They priced me a new carrier assembly for 170.00. I was able to get one off of e-bay for 20 bucks shipped. As far as the type that you have it is no-longer available as a new part. The throw out bearing carrier from models a,b,bn,c and supers will all be the part that you are looking for. Just be sure you get the one that does not use the graphite block.
