The right rear wheel and fender have been removed to clear the way for removal of the lift arm. The problem I have is that the lift arm seems to be "frozen" onto the rockshaft. It probably hasn't been removed in 40 some years and may be rusted onto the shaft.

Does anyone know if there is a puller designed to aid in the removal of the lift arm? Or is there a method I can use to remove the arm?

Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated

just remember if all else fails, try tapping the casting w/ a heavy hammer to break the bond of the arm from the shaft. just be careful, that old cast is very porous and if you hit it too hard, or in the wrong spot, you may be looking to replace or repair that lift arm.

hope this helps

If someone has had this problem and built a homemade puller, I would most certainly appreciate getting the design before I have to "reinvent the wheel". Thanks again.

Are the arms on your 801B the same as any other model? I'm asking because a friend of mine has a couple of parts tractors that I could check out for lift arms. I don't know what he has, but if other models will interchange, then you may be in luck, if he will sell the arms seperately. Probably will need the puller that we have been corresponding on! Get back to me if you think I can help on the lift arms. Thanks again for the advice.
