troutbum70 857 #1 Posted June 11, 2019 Finally got around to putting together the stuff to make a hub puller, my neighbor turned this out for me on the lathe. Still took a lot of grunting, but got er done. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #3 Posted June 11, 2019 Wheel horse could have made this job a lot easier with tapered axles and splines. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or just put on never sezz with not much extra cost.

troutbum70 857 #7 Posted June 11, 2019 Well I purchased it new in 1985 with the intention of having it for a life time, I could have had the good sense to put anti rust on it clear back then. And 953nut I have a 5 ton hydraulic puller that would not touch them, so took the plate back to the drawing board and drilled out the center, welded a inch and five sixteenths nut on it. Then put a one inch bolt in it, then with a 3 foot wrench and 3/4 drive and 3 foot cheater pipe finally got them free. And still broke one hub in the process. And this tractor has always been kept indoors never left out in the weather. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
