anyone ever taken the spindles off of a 7000 series. What holds the spindle tight against the arm, ours has a 1/4 inch gap between the snap ring and arm. Is there any trick to getting the arm off the spindle, or just hit the top of the spindle with a maul?

Thanks, Carl

Carl - is the arm keyed into the spindle? If so you have to pull the arm up and can't beat the spindle down through the front tubes since the key will gouge into the tubes and stop you. I know they are that way on earlier tractors. Probably need to heat the arm up with a rosebud and put a good puller on it. Mike

yes, it is keyed, i read in the I&T manual that you have to cut the arm off the spindle with a torch, seems like a big waste to me, not only of a good arm, but money, cuz im sure new ones arent cheap. things like that make me want to get the person who designed it, and have him do it. He'll see how fun it is. lol

Lonn posted how they did it at the dealer he worked for.It went something like this...cherry up with rosebud and quench with 5 gal bucket of water....should slide right off....install-cherry up with rosebud ,drop in place ,let cool on its own...will stay tight.I need to replace bushings on a 8070 but feel leary also.

Here it is again

Listen to me if want it to be tight again when you put it together. Get a 5 gallon pail of cold water. Heat the arm with a rosebud until it is red hot all around the spindle shaft. Pour the water over the arm to cool it quickly. Now you should be able to easily pull it or tap it off. When you go to put it back on heat the arm again to red hot. Slide it on the arm. Don't forget the half moon key. Let it cool on it's own. Works every time and it will be tight and not come loose like I have seen some do. That's how we did it at the Allis dealer I used to work at.

If you press or pull it off and then back on without heat you can run into problems later and it's a lot more work.

I can't figure out why you're worried about 1/4" inch gap between the snap ring and the arm???? Many of them look like that.

well this is the only one we've had or worked on. always had IH. and i was just curious on why there was a 1/4 gap there. cuz i would seem like it would just fall down and be loose, but now i know why. Thanks to the above ppl
