I had a hard time getting the countershaft nut off of an H. It would not budge. I knocked the plugs out of the shifter so I could pull the shifter out. I took a long narrow bar and shifted two of the shift rails into gear. This puts the transmission into two gears at the same time. This holds the shafts from turning and you don"t get any movement like you do when it is in one gear and trying to move. I made a special socket to fit the nut. I took a steel pipe coupler that was 1 3/4 inch inside diameter. It slides snuggly over the countershaft nut. I cut two grooves in the pipe coupler 1/2 inch wide about 5/8 inch deep. The grooves need to be straight across from each other. I welded a piece of 1/2 inch key stock in the grooves in the coupler. I welded a pipe plug in the other end of the coupler. I had my belly pump out so I had room to put a 3/4 inch long handle ratchet with a 1 3/8 inch socket on it. (It fits over the square end of the pipe plug in the coupler) The reason I made the socket is so it keeps the countershaft nut from spliting in half. I have had that happen. With the special socket, it supports the outside of the nut while there is force on the inner groove. If you don"t have the belly pump removed and are limited for space, then you can use a large crescent wrench or pipe wrench on the pipe coupler/special socket. You will need two new 5/8 inch flat drive in steel plugs when you put the shifter back in. You can get them at most napa stores. Hope that this helps.

Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
