Thank you for posting this video I’m working on my B right now. 2 of the 3 studs that you tighten the castle nut on to tighten or loosen the clutch are sheared off and I need to replace those studs. Any idea on how hard it would be to replace the studs?
Once you pull off the pulley you can pull them right out. So remove the clutch fork assembly, pull the pulley off (you may have to move wheel out to have clearance), then pull those T- bolts out. Reassemble and check crankshaft end play.
@@dalefullenkamp8001 oh, I forgot about the clutch drive disk. That is a bear to get off. I have a video of how I get that off but I may not have posted it yet. How you get it off depends on the year. What year is yours?
@@DanielFarmChannel mine is a 1948. I thought that having some hold the flywheel while the other loosens the nut would be easy but I’m having a bit trouble getting my flywheel cover off. I’ve got all the bolts off but the rod that you push to get the starter turning is giving me a hard time trying to come off
@@dalefullenkamp8001 that starter rod is simply threaded into the bracket at the bottom. If you grab it with vise grips you should be able to turn it out. An impact gun works great to get that bolt off on the pulley side or put it in low gear. Are you in the John Deere B groups or two cylinder group on Facebook? If so you can find me and message me. I can share pieces of video I haven't uploaded yet and we can call if its faster. To answer your question earlier, you have to thread bolts into the drive disc and pull off of those bolts. I used a C channel to span the pulley and nuts on the bolts to pull against the channel. Harder to explain in just words. You will probably also need heat, and lots of it. Be careful when it comes off. All that pulling force turns into a lot of energy when it lets loose.
I can't really remember without looking at another one. I'm even afraid I drove the bushing back inside when I replaced all of this because my pulley actually goes on a little to far I think.
Daniel, what is the best method to up the A4351R gear, pressed on top of the operating sleeve.. what works best.. need to replace the operating sleeve, pivot pin hole is oval now... thanks,,,

@@DanielFarmChannel should the pulley pull right off or do I need to use a gear/flywheel puller?

How does the pulley bearing seat? I mean is it pressed in, and how about the tin cover in front of the bearing. The one in my pulley is trashed.

@@DanielFarmChannel Thanks Dan
Nice video !!!

thanks,,,
Either a heavy duty puller with some heat or a hydraulic press.
@@DanielFarmChannel thanks, great vids!!!
HOW DID YOU REMOVE THE PULLEY GEAR AND OPERATING SLEEVE
I didn't. Didn't see the need. I think you can take it off though with a large press.
