DeezEazy 6 #1 Posted August 13 Hello everyone, I was out and about on my 753 a few days ago and all of a sudden I turned the wheel to the right and she wouldn’t turn at all. First time something like this has ever happened. I figured I would ask all you smart people here first. I pulled the motor as I had planned on doing that anyway and shot this video below. If it’s something obvious that I should be seeing please go easy on me yall lol. Thanks in advance for all the help! https://share.icloud.com/photos/02batMyfi0zpvqdzMecisFGHg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,994 #2 Posted August 14 Down at the bottom of the fan gear where it attaches to the steering shaft which goes up to the front. The roll pin has broken and that's what secures the fan gear to that 3/4" steering shaft. You will need to knock the old pieces out and replace it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those roll pins aren't always the easiest thing to remove. It's going to be 50+ years of rusted in there. Some knock right out, others not so easy. But a punch set will help because flaring them with something else can wedge them in tighter too. I don't know how many you will remove but a cheap set of roll pin punches is probably worth it. If you think you're going to work on much more stuff, a GOOD set might be worth the investment. Here's a cheap amazon set to get you through this one. For $8 it's worth it even if you never do another one. https://www.amazon.com/Roll-Pin-Punch-Set-9pcs/dp/B0CNRJMZX8/ref=sr_1_6?adgrpid=1346902310123487&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gtLv0L-kVk5IYNfZUrsuWa-gCfRH1xUJK9ftuPlqMQVln90DXcOJBojuFRthBiaiig40SvQYXN_MRhcrv2RCOXsg1yYfgp_yAlyHhCo-BEruO9CS5XUeneM3Qd_lo8VfRKqTqrphOSY76ntp2Qk2-yANQFFSERu4-s8AAX5Em2nkpUPGGHrmaut9i4j1lOlQVSsifgWvlA63PkDPCnltQzGoukUOYByVZ9Van4Nukd_kBtJdWVDvnielL5UoC_5dUXKyjVfn20ZwVlainlndLD80aP2iUK9JD3wvMTPyu-0.KuLXnBagJgErd98BBG7WjGR2upJailLdDJFgtfmzp08&dib_tag=se&hvadid=84181465568447&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=51385&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-84181742392708%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=24657_10676799&keywords=roll%2Bpin%2Bpunch%2Bset&msclkid=7b6813e7633e15e0c895755b631ba9c6&qid=1723596844&sr=8-6&th=1 Also, remove the shaft to do it in a vice and not like it is on the tractor. Hammering on it like it is on the tractor will / could crack that cast steering mount piece! Plus the pins will remove much easier when the piece is held solid so the impact on the pin takes the full blunt force of the hit Edited August 14 by wallfish 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,313 #6 Posted August 14 (edited) The holes in both the casting & shaft are most likely wallowed out from use over the years. Once both are removed from the tractor as John mentioned, a corrective fix is to clamp the 2 parts together as assembled and dlill the 1/4" thru hole out to 5/16" for a true fit. Then use a spiral (coiled) pin instead of a roll pin. Coiled pins are about 2x stronger in shear over roll pins. There was a "fix" issued by WH in 1964. That was to install a 1/8" roll pin inside the 1/4" one. The coiled pin is still a better choice... Edited August 14 by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
