My wife's Mercedes 560 SL was not as cramped as the Triumph but I found that the best way to get out was to slide my butt out on the ground and then stand up. Arthritis made bending my legs that far nearly imposable.

WH - Fabricated Exhaust
Phan replied to Phan's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I'm wondering this one can be installed in WH 12 Auto. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09S5LD9Y8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AHSL5HR4HP3O4&psc=1 -
It’s basically just a long piece of wood held by an angle in the center cantilevered from ceiling. Hand-screws just slip in and out of it. They are not clamped on it making them quick to remove . Hand screws take a lot of space and are awkward to store. I make use of ceiling space frequently. Gets pretty cozy over here.

@Farmer Forbes have any KROIL PENETRATING OIL ? personally would remove the set screws , and get some kroil in all related areas , would also drive it around to enhance the lubrication creep , those hubs need lots of help in removal . never too early to get lube in the , set screw area , sitting at 12 o clock . so it can show you any soaking gain , pete

@rmaynard Really don't mean to high jack your thread. Just want to share this video of a crank shaft being cast. This video is brought to you by OSHA. I'm not sure how any of the employees still have feet.

Obviously there's a lot to remember and you don't want to miss anything. They went over most if not all of this at the dealership but it will be hard to remember it all. They may have given me a winterization checklist, but I think they want people to bring RVs to them to winterize so a "too well educated" customer may stop being a customer. I'll make my own numbered checklist as you have done. But I may just be watching the forecast and heading south when subfreezing becomes persistent. Not a fan of winter any more (if I ever was). Someone mentioned a wash machine - this one is too small for that.

Ber-Vac 46” snowblower that im thinking about getting
AHS replied to AHS's topic in Implements and Attachments
Nice!! 50+ feet!! I had a 414-8 single stage long shute (that i rebuilt) and it threw snow long and far!! Very good, that makes me a more confident about getting one!! -
Bore and hone is about that here. Guides.... I dunno IF that can be done. Valve grind around here is more of a hand lapping sequence on small engines. There's a more concise shop further away. They definitely do good automotive work. Small engines.....???

We had to remove the hubs from my neighbor's B-100. We ended up using a junk hub that I had and some long through bolts to make a puller. I had an impact socket just slightly smaller than the1/8" axle on the one end and large enough to not pass through the donor hub on the other end. Then in rotation, we tightened down the through bolts. After giving up on penetrating oil, we resorted to heating the hubs and melting crayons into it. Let it cool, repeat about 5 times. Each time tightening the through bolts. On about the 5th attempt, we got some movement and off it came.
-
Not to mention you will likely strip the edge that the retaining ring holds onto, effectively requiring machine shop work to fix or purchase another axle to repair.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Terry (Vinylguy in the vendor section) can make you some decals any way you like, and everyone here can vouch for his work and how nice the decals are. Almost everything I've purchased from him has been custom work. I think he has some 5xi stuff anyway, so he already has size templates to work with. Your tractor looks great! Even if it isn't red it is still a beauty! -
I agree with the highly soaking it in the keyway hole as much and long as possible. Once you decide on a puller you are using if it isn't coming off and you feel you have a lot of force pulling on it. You can try tapping around the hub by the axle with a hammer or similar, not hard though. I had a stubborn one break by doing that when I was afraid to keep cranking on the puller. Good luck...stick with it...once you get one or two it's not as intimidating as the first
-
Oh yeah.....I got vivid memories of my neighbors. The carbs are a night mare. the rest not far behind. Might work out, who knows, interesting to see the journey.
-
With that set screw removed, look in the hole to see if the axle might have rotated in the hub, some times it isn't just the rust and pulling against a key that is rotated into a wear spot is next to impossible. Keep applying the penetrating oil. I will be going thru Spring Grove next Thursday and I have a puller that should work. Send me a PM if that is something you might want.
-
I have set a map gas torch on the floor pointed at the hub for ten minutes or so with the puller in place snugging it and giving the head of the puller bolt a love tap. Your changing the seal anyway so the heat is not an issue there. I use an old hub that I drilled out the threat to allow the 7/16 bolts to pass through.
-
And do not even consider using a slider hammer puller! It will defeat the large snap ring the holds the side gear on the axle; the axle & hub WILL exit the Unidrive, leaving you no other option except to split the case as described above to reassemble...

Nice work Chips! -
The joys of hub pulling......

Ah, piece rate.... Rhode Island once was the Jewelry capital of the nation. Myself and siblings had summer jobs drilling & deburring ring castings. My middle sister made a career in local jewelry, I certainly did not!

Mine are clamped to floor joists above my shop!

I made this one for pulling C series hubs. Still did not budge the one I had to split the case on.....

Definitely 👍 The appearance of the grind didn’t matter, only speed and result. Look at how coarse a wheel was used! Had a piecework job during a school summer vacation. It didn’t take me long to learn the standards, get fast, avoid scrap, and not waste a single motion. I wanted to make any money.
-
This is how my hubs got removed--and it taxed the press to its max. You may ask how this could be so--the hubs seem so strong and beefy? 3-jaw pullers are stronger. ‘Nuf said.

Got the fruit trees all trimmed and the downed tree cut up.
