hmm.. Could you use a LITTLE crazy glue to keep the woodruff key in the slot ? Maybe bevel the top edges of the key where the drum slides on ?? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

I'm wondering what 'trick' A-C did on the assembly line ? I try to figure out HOW something was assembled or made so dang fast. It'd be nice to go back and SEE how they did it..... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

The oven method works great for a ring gear so it should work just fine for that. I had to wait for a day when the wife was out!! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| If my little torch won't do the trick I'll probably try laying the drum on my gas grill . Using the wife's oven sounds kinda risky . Thanks |

| Grill would b better than torch....need to heat whole thing as try to just do the center could break it. |

| You're right Steve . I first tried the little torch , no luck . Happy to say I put it on the gas grill and finally have the drum back in place . I also put a dab of loctite on the bottom of the woodruff key . Now if only my parts would show up . Thanks !! |
