Putting electric start bellhousing and flywheel/ringgear on my '39 F-20. Is there a trick or tool to put it back on. I can't get it to start easily. Came off very slow and hard.
Thanks, Kevin
 
keep the flywheel in a cool place, heat up the ring gear with a torch, not red hot, but warm enough to expand enough to fit onto the flywheel with minor persuasion ( wooden block or dead blow hammer) once you get it where you want it , let it cool very slowly.
I would clean the surface of the flywheel where the ring gear goes, a wire wheel buffer usualy does a good job, don't want to remove hardly any metal, just the corrosion or grease.
 
Kevin, I did mine in the winter tractor was in a barn with no heat. I couldnot fit the flywheel in may barbaq grill so I put it in the kitchen oven for 3 hours at 250 oiled the shaft lined it up and slid it on. I did have to hit it with a block of wood and a bfh. I have heard of guy having to pull it back off and start over to get it lined up right. oldiron29
 
Thanks, that we were thinking but it is hot here today. Held pressure on it with a heal bar and I drove it on with a Drift and a BFH. Now to get it in the tractor. Will have to pull a frame rail to set it back in.
Thanks Kevin
 
Yes, I have been told that the bell housing will fit between the frame rails but I do not know how. I have always had to take one frame rail loose. Maybe the bell housings are not all the same and some do fit.
