Not Allis equipment but I thought someone on here might have encountered this problem and have a trick to removing the pipe that connects the two halves. 20 ton jack and stainless steel cheater bar is not getting it done. I also tried hooking tractor on each end but that broke the strap. I have tapped it with a sledge hoping to break the rust free. I am just trying to make another hay wagon. Thanks for any ideas.  ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, AC 4 row Planter, AC 77G Rake, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |

Put smaller bolts in it, to keep it from coming apart down the road.. Soak it with Kroil. Hook it to a vehicle and pull it over rough ground. Weigh on it will help it twist and star to move some, twisting it will help more than a straight line push. HTH Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

Get it on some uneven ground, like crossing a ditch on a 45 degree angle, and invite some fat cousins over to play on your new see-saw. X2 on the kroil, may take heat (rosebud torch) and fat cousins... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

leave the jack on it... soak with oil... pickup one wheel with a loader to Twist it. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Since the bolsters look like they are in good shape, I would load some saw logs on it and drive across some dead furrows or across a swale, off the road or down a not-too-steep ditch into a field--anything to get that coupling pole to start to twist and turn and move. This could be a patience builder until it breaks free. R. Musgrave |

| Cut it into in middle, slide small pipe inside and bolt back together where you want it. MACK |

| Do you have the set screws out? |

Thanks for all of the ideas. I did remove the set screws and other screws but it is really rusty. I soaked it with penetrating oil (didn't have any kroil though). I drove it down the road although most of the roads around me are fairly smooth but I found some dips and bridges. Didn't faze it though. I also took the front loader and raised it with one tire but didn't faze it either. I think this thing is really seized up from what I can tell. I think I like the idea of cutting it in middle and redrilling holes. I need to put a 7 foot pipe extension in it to make an 18 foot hay wagon. If I do that then I won't need as long as a piece of pipe. 2.5 inch pipe is crazy expensive now days. I also found out some of the holes for the tire bolts are stripped on one hub so I have to use regular bolts. Steering is a little tight too but I an working on loosening it. I will report back after cutting it in half. ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, AC 4 row Planter, AC 77G Rake, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |
