This is my final note to every body the work shop is done. Thank you every body for your information and support on the great advice you had shared. Sad to say now after spend a lot of money for a building it is time to seek more great knowledge. I am seeking to purchase tools. I was in a SNAP-ON tool book saw a wet sleeve puller (CG80A) Manuel puller but then looked and saw a Hydraulic wet sleeve puller. Which one would be the best to buy? How munch more is the Hydraulic puller and does it comes with the stuff to use it. Need to ask out here hey tractor friends do any body have extra tools you know might want to sell them? I really do not have a large amount of money after spending 107,000.00 on a three car garage unit. Yes that is right Wow I even have to say that is a lot of money but yes I live in California and that is way it coast an arm and a leg L.O.L. Just write back to me if you have any extra good tools. I forget I do have a John Deere 70 Diesel that I have to restore complete so any engine tools for it will help. Thanks Brent.

Whenever I need to pull sleeves I just throw one together out of scrap that I have lying around. They are all built around a 12 inch long 7/8 fine thread nut and bolt though. I break them loose first with something heavy and crude on the bottom. After they are started I take the time to shape the disc that will pull them up through the block.

Yes they are very good tools but if ur on a ?limited? budget ur in the wrong catalog (Snap-On),,,,, LOL

Get a manual of some kind. Remember how often it will be used.

Don't think a 70D has sleeves. I would just buy tools as I needed them.

Brent Zappe · Jan 25, 2019

Yes you right the John Deere does not have wet sleeves. I just do not own John Deere but I do have International harvester, Case, Allis Chalmers, and Caterpillars. John Deere is like a car engine if you have cylinder walls to thin you have to bore them out and reserve them. Just like those Wisconsin engines I get to redo when people get lazy to rebuild them.

This answer yet see I wonder where you get your information. Yes I do buy service manuals or shop books. Last estate sale I walked in I bought all the shop Manuel's come to think about it and some 1 inch drive tools. Spending around 200.00 dollars on the sale but there again it was a whole set of big drive of Mac tools. Shop manuals written in the 1950's are interesting to read because they are worded different than the new ones but there again you might not notice this.

Brent Zappe · Jan 25, 2019

Yes I see your point I was like that at one time. I still have some tools in my tool box that read these names. SK tools, Chrome dome, Black Hawk and many other names. the SK tools at one time made in U.S.A. back in the early 1970's. Craftsmen at one time use to be good to but lately after buying some of them and noticing they to are sloppy in the quality of the tool. It is sad to realize that when you have fingers that hurt and maybe have pain in them it is because you have tried buying cheap tools to work on cars and equipment.

Brent Zappe · Jan 25, 2019

I first have to say thank you. It is about time I have read some body who has given me a good answer out of this thought. I never thought about that way but thanks again and yes you do have a good point. You know what I am going to have to try this and see how it works out thanks again.

You have got to be kidding. I didn't spend $30'000 on these two barns (24'x40'x9' and 30'x48'x12'). Both have electric, cement floors, and natural gas heat.

For sleeved engines you can pull them with B7 (hardened) all thread and nut. Make or have made a round piece of steel to center in the bottom of the sleeve. OD has to be smaller than the ID of the hole in the block so it can pass on up through. A bar of steel for cross bar at top and some spacers to get you up above the deck of the block. If you don't have a metal lathe I find it a VERY useful tool to have.
On that 70 D one tool I know you will need is a very large gear puller with fairly long legs to reach back and remove the live pto gear off the crankshaft if you are going that far and if you have live pto. Same puller will be used to remove belt pulley drive gear so you can access the clutch toggles and dogs to clean and lube them. I have a really nice one that uses a hyd. port a power and it screws onto it and can be used in either a 2 jaw or 3 jaw puller. An overhead lifting device is good to have too for the extra heavy parts on that 70D.
A oxy/acetylene torch is also a MUST HAVE for old tractor work.
