Evil Archer 300 76 #1 Posted March 5, 2018 I decided to go with the Eaton 1100. I'm having a problem with the Lift Rock Shaft . I got it out on the right side but can't get the Lift arm to move. Am I going about this right. Tomorrow I'll try to heat it up and break it loose. I have been putting Penetrating oil on it all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That seems to be the only solution, lots of square inches of tightly fitted steel in an area prone to rusting. That wasn't the best design when it comes to removing it.

Jerry77 1,218 #3 Posted March 6, 2018 Not sure this is any help, but is the height adjusting knob screwed all the way down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #4 Posted March 6, 2018 You MAY have to cut it off. These get really rusted. If you need to cut it, I have a replacement for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Archer 300 76 #5 Posted March 6, 2018 The height adjustment knob is all off, I have a Donor Tractor that the New Eaton is coming off, Lots of extra parts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Archer 300 76 #6 Posted March 6, 2018 Is there a Keyway in the sleeve, Something has to keep it from spinning. What keeps the lift arm on. Is this a drift pin ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy assembly for the factory but a major PITA for anyone wishing to take it apart after it has rusted together. Best bet is to lay the frame on its side (outdoors) heat the sleeve with a torch then drench it with oil, the heat will break the rust bond and allow the oil to flow down between the two parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #9 Posted March 6, 2018 Not sure this will help, but you may want to drill and tap the sleeve (part #19) for a grease fitting. Put some transmission fluid in your grease gun and try to pump it through the sleeve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paraffin wax is a good lube/penetrant too for stuck nuts and bolts, once torch-warmed a toasty red! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
