I have read through the past posts about removing the front pulley on the crankshaft and tried all the suggestions. I have used a steering wheel puller with a bracket behind the crankshaft pulley to keep the load evenly distributed throughout the pulley and reefed on it something fierce yet it didn't even budge. Then I tried adding heat, LOTS of heat and still nothing. It has been soaked daily in penetrating oil and that still doesn't help. I actually broke a 3/8" Husky drive AND 3/4" deep well socket I was ranking so hard. Several posts say this is easy, and the manual I have makes it sound like it is easy as blowing out birthday candles. I have tried just about everything I can think of. Does anyone have an suggestions other then cutting it off? Thanks Josh

I've got a question. Once you get it off how do you get it back on? Won't pounding it on damage the crank or trust bearing. Any ideas, I'am about to start rebuilding my super C engine.

From what I understand the crank is threaded where your puller would go to pull it off. I believe it is 1/2" fine thread but don't quote me. What I think you could do is use a piece of dowel rod heat the pulley up on your bbq or oven and then place it on and used a few large washers and a nut to push it back on. I haven't done this or tried it or even know someone that has done it but I have read this and figure it is probably the best way. Besides why else would the crank be threaded?

Thanks for the tip I've never had one apart before. All my IT manual says to heat the pulley before installing it. Does not say how to install it.

Just like all my manual says about removal is put a pulley on there and remove pulley. Makes it sound so easy doesn't it!

Just finished doing this to my Super C. It took two and a half hours of hard work to get it off. I used a split bearing puller with a 10" two jaw gear puller, assisted with a Act. torch and 5 lb hammer.

Lots of heat to the point of being cherry red just before it began to melt. In all those that I have done, only one came off easy.

I too had a heck of a time getting the pully off of my Super-A. To finally get mine off was to borrow a bearing separator and a heavy puller from a local shop. Bearing separators are a bit expensive. Anyway, I put in a socket to keep the puller from digging into the end of the crank and then tightened down on the puller. Once it was good and tight with the help of my breaker bar I gave the end of the puller a good wack with a small hand sledge. That finally made enought force to make the pully slip against the crank. Pretty exiting moment to see movement! Repeated this a bunch of times until the pully finally came off. Almost burned my fingers when I picked the socket up off the floor. It was heated up pretty good from all the friction. Hope this helps.

If you have an air hammer handy give that a try before you resort to cutting it off. Vibration will do amazing things… Let us know how you come out.

Well it came off finally! I was busy the last 3 days so I didn't get to it till yesterday. Went to the local rental store and rented a bearing splitter and put that on. Then I got the steering wheel puller on and gave her some love. Actually broke free without any heat! I had a 3 ft. cheater bar on my drive wrench but she came off! Throughout this process I broke 1 Huskey 3/8 drive, 1 Sears 3/8 drive, 1 standard 3/4" socket and 1 deep well 3/4" socket. Good thing they are all guaranteed for life. Gonna get brand new ones for free! Once the pulley was off you could see where someone tried to get it off once before and had broke the pulley. Someone did a fine job of welding the pieces back on it. But it's strange because the tractor has been in our family since the second year of its existence and none of us have ever taken it apart. Makes us wonder what the first person did to it that had it for that 1 year that he did. But anyhow thanks for the suggestions. I guess I just had to let the penetrating oil works it's magic for a few more days.
