Hey, I would sure like some help on this one. I wonder if the bearings are pressed on the axle or just hard to get off. I cant seem to get them off, I was wondering if a puller would work. Any suggests are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Just go down to your local home improvement store and get some thick 2" PVC pipe. Cut a piece as long as your axle. Slip the end of this over the end of the axle and it will line up on the inside ring of the bearing. Place a stout board over the other end of the PVC pipe, and pound that bearing off with a BFH. To put the new one on, pound the bearing in from the other side (that is why you cut the pipe as long as your axle). Make sure to put the bearing on the correct direction.

It is a 5 minute job if you have a helper to hold the axle while you are pounding.

Good luck,
Dan

I used the broken front spindle that I'd thrown in a box as a drift to drive the old bearing from the short end of the axle. YMMV. Good luck. Steve

Yes, a puller will work, Ray. Depending on the climate the tractor has lived in, a flame wrench may be necessary, too. Tool of choice would be a very tall hydraulic press (cut a hole in your workbench?), but few people have one of them.
