I just went through that nightmare. I've done several H's, but not an M. I actually had to replace the shiev (sp) that had previously broke off in two pieces. That "Gland Nut" as IH calls it can be a real bear if it's been bottomed out. I went to every extent to remove ths bugger with what I had in my toolbox including an oversized Channelock pliers...NO Go.(I was going in between the radiator and shroud for a straighter shot at it) I was rounding off the Gland nut something awful. I decided to stop and call a 40-50 year IH shop where I frequently buy parts for all my tractors. I thought there must be some kind of "secret" involved. I called up the IH shop and described my issue and asked for any "secret" they might have to resolve this problem. They said "Yeah, we got a "secret"...it's called a pipewrench, and if it's bottomed out and stuck bad enough, you'll need a pipe on the end of that pipewrench. Well...that's all I needed to hear. I took three different pipewrenches out to he site, and sure enough...the third pipewrench found the "sweetspot" AND I had a pipe on the end of that wrench, I finally got it to crack loose a little. It took me twenty to twenty five minutes to get that little bugger the rest of the way out. The Gland Nut was really carved up bad. I have a good used Gland nut coming from the IH place I called. Boy...Talk about extremes. Good luck to you.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
