I am wondering if anyone can explain how to remove these small pins so I am not splitting this tractor every winter. I have read the other posts and can't figure it out right now. Any pictures or better explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

I got a couple 1/4in grade 8 bolts like you said. I removed all of the insides of the shaft. I also am having a machinist make a spacer to replace the 1000 rpm gear. I forgot to pick up lock nuts so I will pick them up tomorrow. My question now is what do you mean by a welch plug? Glad to be gaining ground on this thing!! Thanks Guys!! [Reply]  [No Email]

I inserted in the slots the largest diameter bolt with locking nut on each side of 540 drive gear(parts key #32) along with correct number of shim washers to hold 540 drive gear in correct position with one shift collar(parts key #29) to power 540 gear. One also needs to remove stub shaft and install a welch plug to keep oil from leaking out of drive shaft and then reinstall stub shaft. I altered several tractors such as I stated back when I was a JD dealer service manager and never had a customer complaint. Tim S stated he built something to hold 540 gear in correct place.
