Glad that GeneB responded before me, because he has much more experience with Farmalls than I do and has helped me on many occasions.
However, I also had a fairly stubborn drum on the right differential shaft. I used the method you described, with two threaded rods. I rested the plate on the face of the shaft near the splines. Then tightened (I mean very tight, just short of stripping the threads) up the threaded rods. Then gave the plate a few good blows with a heavy hammer, as if you were trying to drive the shaft out of the drum. (There is no need to support the drum while hammering on the plate; inertia will take care of that.) Tighten threaded rods up again and give it another few good whacks. In my case it came off in about 15 minutes. Use penetrating oil liberally! The differential side end of the shaft may mushroom a little bit from the hammering on the plate, but I don't think that causes any harm. Good luck. Hendrik
