My Wheel Horse #2

Getting back to pulley removal & the bearing splitter, is this available at advance auto?  I can't seem to find it.

Also, no keyways on my pulleys.  The nut that was referenced was on the top?  What's the point of leaving it on?

 

Thanks!

Your tractor numbering system is off, you should have numbered no. 2, 5 or 6, then you could go back and fill in the missing numbers.

Hey now, I'm a neophyte.  I need a little time to learn the correct lingo & techniques!

Well, I ordered a puller kit.  Advance doesn't loan them, and harbor freight sells them, but without the parts needed to use it.  This only has 3" plates, so I hope it works. I'll know on monday

Which kit did you order?

 

I have a bunch of pullers and bearing splitters, and heating tools. Heat is a good thing-loosener.

Here's the kit I ordered, now arriving today:

I heated one, but was not going to pry on it.  They have been saturated with liquid wrench for several days.  I expect they will pop right off.

That's a good kit. I have that one.

I'm about to go see if it will work for these pullies.

Wish me luck!

 

EDIT:  NO LUCK.  Too small diameter for the large pulley, too thick to slide under the small ones.

Back to the drawing board.

What is the end goal here? Obviously you want to save the pulley, how attached are you to the spindle? I can get anything apart, but I need to know what can and cannot be destroyed to make the plan.

[Pete D 296]

Everything is good, so if it can all be saved, that's my goal. If I can't get it apart, on to plan B.

 

EDIT:  I think I'm going to have to make my own puller(s) with some plate steel and long bolts.  Grrrr.  Off to Swopes tomorrow, I guess.
