SH Factory WFE

I am rebuilding the steering on the SH with factory, tie rods behind WFE. One of the outer tie rod ends is broken. I bought a new end from IH but I cannot get the old one out of the tube assembly. I took it to body shop FE alignment guy, No luck. Took it to old timer with about 40 tractor restorations done, no lu. I have it standing up vertical with the inner tie rod removed and soaking with PB Blaster for 5 days.
Been trying to drive the lon rod out with steel punch and 10 lb hammer . No Luck.
We have tried the blue wrench but there is just too much steel, too long to realyy get the whole thing HOT.
Am I going to have to buy a new sleeve from OEM?

If you know anyone that still does blacksmithing, maybe you could have them put it in the forge, get the whole thing cherry red, and then let it cool down. It should come apart then.
 
Gordo,

I found a solution of 50% ATF and 50% Acetone will loosen up just about anything. It"s worked for me on nuts and bolts that I don"t think were ever off since factory on my 560, 31 sickle bar, and some pretty rusty plow bolts on my 411.

I found the recipe on here, and it works better than anything else I"ve ever tried.

Good Luck,

Matt
 
I'd be using the hammer on the outside of the tube for a while. Beating on it will make it swell and also help to break the rust loose. Jack frost and rust are the two most powerfull glues known to man.
 
Or the closest you can come to your own forge is to try covering the thing with charcoal (better yet some coal) in some type of container with the help of a hair dryer to heat the coals up a little more.

Except for an oven, most forges are an open pit pile of coal on something thick enough not to burn through and an a source from the bottom. Many small forges are made with an old old wheel hub as the focal point.

Alternatively put coal in your wood burner or lay it on the heater. I'm not sure how big it is if it would fit in the oven or not. I can get 600 plus degrees out of my gas grill with the cover closed.
 
Thanks for the help guys. No blacksmith or forge around. I'll try hammering it and then run it in to the machine shop in town and see if the hyd press will punch it out.

gordo, just a thought, but I unstuck a telescoping pto shoft on an old spreader by putting it in a brushpile and burning the brushpile. once the brushpile wa burnt down to coals, the thing was red hot and came right apart. It might be worth a shot. Kippster
