It's pretty neat being able to see the guts of these things, as most of us will never tear into one. Thanks for keeping the updates going.

glad to see you got that troublesome pulley off.
Lots of parts, but you’ve got it handled, Jacob

Hammer is much too light….get a 2#er. And crank that puller down! Add more heat. The Kroil or whatever that was didn’t even smoke, so it couldn’t have been very hot. The propane torch won’t suffice. Oxy acetylene with a rose-bud tip for quickly getting it hot. Might have to borrow one.
Best to heat up the pulley rim too, so that the whole thing expands evenly.

The pulley is a straight shaft, which is why it's being so difficult. It's likely that it has never been off since put on at the factory, so lots of years of rust. I have a friend coming to visit who has some more options to get that pulley off, we'll see how that goes, stay tuned! Until then, here is part 10:

Hi Jacob, now that you have the puller applying tension to that pulley, I would take the torch and apply some heat to the hub of the pulley. this should cause it to expand and probably loosen up. Is that pulley on a taper on the shaft or just on a straight shaft with a key?

Slowly but surely is the key to this kind of project. A person just needs to put the time in, even if it's just a few hours a week. Even half an hour here and there adds up over the course of months and years. Just need to work on something, anything, and keep working on it. Sometimes that is not actually touching the tractor like you say, sometimes it's just reading and studying the parts books, or talking with other fellow tractor owners with questions you may have. Or Googling about our model of tractor to see what info is already out there. And when you are like me and work on tractors that there essentially is NO information available on the internet, then you have to PROVIDE that info for others. That is my goal of my YouTube channel, to have that info out there for future people restoring these amazing pieces of our history. Thank you all for your support!
