Help, I stated with one gasket, now my motor is torn apart and the bolster loose, nearly off as couldn't get ratty belts off. I was able to free it up a bit, but the crank needs to be removed and polished or at least wire-wheeled. It's warn and sticky/stuck. I want to remove it...How does one do that? I have a "parts" book of every washer and bolt. Is it the snap-ring? I want it all out to look at and either replace or polish. Thanks for the help!

I soaked mine with penetrating fluid, then slowly kept tapping on it over several days and it finally came loose. Once you get it to move you are home free.

Well, its loose but you cant spin it...it kind of binds up yet...did get to the belts and got them off anyway. That rachet as nearly touching the crank-pully. all the way back now. Keep lube on it and work it or remove and shine up? If remove...How?

It is necessary to remove the engine (split the tractor) to get the crank out.
A manual from CaseIH, this site, or binder books will be necessary.
The fan pulley is a split sheave. it is loosened by removing a big set screw and turning the front half CCW (when looking at it from the front) to widen the pulley. JimN

I misspoke, what i want to remove is the hand-crank rachet in the bolster. I'd like to be able to hand-start the motor at times but it's all but rusted tight.

If it moves at all, it can be pretty simply doctored up by using penetrating lube on it (auto trans fluid is good) then working it in out 1/8" and around and around till it gets loose. Flush the casting and rod with lube till the dripping comes clean on the other side, leaving rust in the casting will wear it out radically.
If it is stuck, I would put the crank on the snout with a 75# weight on the handle pulling down. Then I would heat the shaft where it enters the bolster (not red hot, but dang hot, then let it cool) do this for three or four times, then let it cool till cold. Tapping on the end and continuing to pull, is about the only way. JimN
