| Hey. I'm a new member here and I'm currently rebuilding a '51 AC B. I broke my left final drive trying to remove the shaft to replace bearings. I have a spare one I'm buying to replace it. Any tips on removing the shaft without breaking the final drive casing? Which way do you press? Thanks. |

Welcome to the forum. Which shaft were you trying to pull, pinion or axle? I expect Gerald will post a link to the manual (it covers the G, B, C, and CA models) he has on line, when he sees your post. Down load and save a copy so you have it. That will give you the info you need and the tools to do the job. Easier if you read it first. Folks here will give you a hand if you have questions about the procedure. |

the bull shaft comes out pretty easy after the remove the snap ring on the bull gear / shaft.... the top axle shaft is really not stuck in the case, it is "normally" the brake hub that is stuck to the shaft... There is a lock screw on the hub.. access thru the 1 inch round hole in the case.. You might head the brake hub.. soak with penetrant, etc... Many are HARD to get off. some have broken the brake drum to get the shaft out. I have never heard of the CASE breaking... I set the base on the end with shaft sticking straight up.. press the shaft OUT from the INSIDE to the OUTSIDE ... and it moves thru the drum as you push........ service manual shows a puller with rods you connect to the drum, then portapower the shaft thru ........ I have also beat them out with a 5 pound hammer and brass plate, but you can distort the splines that slide into the differential if you pound too much...... small grinder can then fix it up. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Ok thanks. Maybe that's where I went wrong. Instead of pressing inside out, I went outside in thinking it would work. I have the hub stuck on the other final drive axle that i can't get off. It has the one big nut in the middle. Any ideas? |

Here is a link to the factory service manual. You can down load and save it. It is in sections for the different tractors. You need to review pages 36 through 38 in the B, C section for this project. That will help you with nomenclature and sequence. Do you have the final off the tractor? Be sure you tell which shaft, etc. you are working on. Folks will help you with your questions from there. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nvxDDuq8gSc9ex2Y4n4wH3OWvMt8Foeb/view" rel="nofollow - G, B, C, CA service manual |

| You might want to tell exactly how and where the final drive broke. What all lock screws and nuts you had removed would also help us help you. |

| It was the pinion shaft. I removed all the bolts and nuts. It broke on the inside part between the brake drum and the gear. That bearing in the middle. Thanks for the help so far. |

Were you pressing on the spline shaft that goes into the transmission? |

It has the one big nut in the middle. Any ideas? Set the axle housing in the press or on a couple of wood blocks so it is LEVEL and the differential end ( splined shaft) pointing UP... See DICKS picture of the press... The press is the way to go.. You can BEAT it out, but check splines for minor distortion after the shaft is out... You are trying to push the shaft THRU the brake drum... There is a SET SCREW in the hub !! get it out first... Soak with penetrant... maybe some heat. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
