I'm replacing a Delco #1107043 starter armature in my Allis B. Trying to remove the old gear, spring and lug to put on new armature that I purchased from Romaine Electric - WI for $65. The lug (see white tape in picture) is not sliding off easily. Appears that the key should not be a problem. Have been persuading with hammer and block of wood in vice - with lube. Any suggestions? Would trying to expand lug with MAP torch hurt anything? Thinking might be a metal burr in there.  ------------- 1951 CA - 1944 C - 1949 B - Kubota M6800 |

hard to get in there and hit with a block of wood... how about taking two 1/4 inch straps and setting between the windings and the gear... turn it upside down and set across open jaw vise... then tap on the end of the shaft......... something like a gear puller.. i dont see why heat would hurt, but a good even distributed THUMP might work. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

something like this... but if you dont have a bearing puller, two 1/4 inch plates should work.. hold together with tape for a third hand.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Thanks Steve. The two steel plates worked great. ------------- 1951 CA - 1944 C - 1949 B - Kubota M6800 |

I used to just use a couple of open end wrenches, basically doing the same thing. Works wonders! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
