| Does anyone have a simple idea to get the left hand drum out of the final drive on my CA? This sucker is in there quite aways and I don't want to have to buy a long reach Puller for one use. I took the retaining bolt out of it but can't seem to wiggle the key way loose or anything. |

| You can use threaded rod for a puller and lot of heat from the fire wrench. Bob |

You may be able to rent a puller from an equipment rental shop. ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

| Check with your local Auto Zone or other auto parts store. At least Auto Zone has tools to rent & you get all of your money back when you take the tool back. |

| Just make sure before you heat it up ,to have the puller on and set with pressure on it and ready to start pulling as soon as . |

I gave up on pullers years ago. The drums rest in an environment that promotes rust. Mice nests along with insect nests.  Fighting those conditions with a puller will work in time with heat and hours/days of soaking with penetrating oil. I found if I take it off the tractor, clean out the crap, put it up on my press and in a coupla minutes after I have it blocked leval the drum is in my hands.  |

| You were able to press the pinion shaft straight out with the drum attached? Then the drum just slid off the shaft? |

That be what happens! The pinion shaft dropps out the bottom and I just reach in and pick it out. I have one in front of my press now from a B and a couple three more to bring in. When I get time to work on them and if I have my camera with me I will take more pictures at the different steps. Not sure when that will be though. When I think I will have time to get at those More orders come in, which by the way is a good thing. I eat better when the orders are coming in.
