tims tractors 119 #1 Posted March 31, 2018 I have tried everything heat alot of spray some of the mixes I've read about. And after all of that the 7 inch pulley on my 55 RJ will not move. Is there some kind of pullers I'm missing? I was changing clutchs rearends and transmissions when I was 13 so I am not new to this kind of work. Help. Thanks.

squonk 38,952 #2 Posted March 31, 2018 What kind of puller are you using? How about a pic of the pulley so we can see home much room you have to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe take it to a local shop and they can press it off? Make sure there isn't a second set screw below the first one too. Have found those doubled before so completely removing them is a good idea. Plus you can shoot oil into that hole directly onto the shaft which is better than letting it creep in from the edges. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,769 #4 Posted March 31, 2018 Did you try clamping a heavy piece of scrap steel to the pulley, ground an arc welder to the shaft and crank the welder up to 250 (or as high as you can) and burn a few rods onto the scrap steel. The heavy current flow through the rust will heat it because of rust's resistance to flow. once this has been done the resultant heat will allow you to melt some wax into the shaft/pulley gap as a lubricant. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tims tractors 119 #5 Posted March 31, 2018 Pull up any picture of a 55-56-57 and just below the seat is the pulley on a 55 it's a 7 inch the other 2 are 6 inch. Small shaft big pulley need to get clear around and in close. Thanks Tim. Early RJ jack pulley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,675 #8 Posted March 31, 2018 if you are going to do a complete rebuild heat the pulley hub and shaft red hot with a torch let it cool to the touch and you should be able to use a brass drift and drive the shaft thru the pulley Brian 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
