I want to replace the lift arms on my D17 SIV with a nicer set from my parted 170. I could replace the whole casting, but I don't have a gasket....one arm will come off on the D17 because it is sloppy and worn, but the ones on the 170 housing are tight. Do I need to find someone with a press, or is there a way to get a puller on it? I have a 3 arm puller but it is too small.... Any other ideas?

Did mine with the shop press at school
EDIT: And a lot of heat and PB Blaster. I used an Acetylene torch for heat. those bottle torches you get at TSC won't get close.

Buy a gasket from AGCO, it runs around 25 bucks or so, well worth the ease!!! :-)

Eldon, If the arms are tight on the 170 put the whole thing on the D17 then they will still be tight. Otherwise that might not be the case when you get done.

Swap the rear section out and replace the lift cyl. hose while your inside. replace it with rtv sealer if a gasket isn't handy.
------------- Yea, I can fix that.....

D17 Dave: Series 4 has lift cylinders on the outside (not inside).

You guys are probably right.....and less work in the long run. I also had concerns that the holes/bushings in the housing might be worn....
