Pulley puller
 

I made this funny PTO basket puller today out of an old drive shaft, some longer basket pulley set screws and a sledge hammer head. It worked fine. Alternated the puller from one screw to the other. I put the Allen head of the screws into the holes in case it broke off so I can get it out later. I may change the set screws to non hardened ones though.

Don't forget your safety glasses!!!

Please comment if you please.

Way to use your noggin Lew!:beer2:

I used the puller not my head!
BTW this was soaking for 2 days in PB so it kinda helped.

:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Nice "master of invention" idea Lew :beer2:

I like KROIL better than PB or LW.

Did you leave the PTO arm in place? I could make a piece for the driveshaft to slip over the threaded collar so the basket pulley would be driven straight off.


I used a different approach to get my pulley off.

I made a puller and drilled the pulley for 5/16-18NC ( "F" drill ) The spacing also works for removing the flywheel.

By using two longer bolts with 1/2" sockets, it makes a great PTO bearing puller :biggrin2:

Good idea lew, I could have used that idea 2 weeks ago, would have saved me a basket pulley!:angry:

Must have been the driveshaft out of my 149 We picked up from u a few months back!:biggrin2:

Anything that Gits Er Done is a good thing, way to go Buddy! :beerchug:

I would have used the fire wrench and probably cooked the engine. :biggrin2:

Yes it was Nick.


Jeff,

I would like to see if you can make a collar to fit over the part of the pulley that has the set screws, then drill 2 holes in it that would line up the the ones on the pulley, put a threaded end on the collar to fit on a real slide hammer.sorta something like that...
There are different sizes of bushings on the pto baskets though,so you would have to get at least the two sizes I have seen.

Good thinking Lew:beerchug:
So.... now if we want to make one, do we just get the drive shafts from Nick?:biggrin2:
