Tapered shaft on the pony crank,,so it takes a real puller. Should be 2 threaded whole to pull from. Not good to pull from the outside. With a puller putting pressure on you may need to hit the center screw,or even heat the fly wheel.
Ok thanks, it's the nut itself is what I have to remove first. The end of the crank is rusted and I was wondering if it's ok to put heat on it, didn't want to temper the crank or something trying to remove it. Is it ok to put heat on it?
Just put a socket on it with a impact gun to remove.(a big socket!). Wire brushing & little heat on the nut is ok.
Moderation in all things.:doh: The first time I took the fly wheel off I was so lucky 😉 nothing broke.
I used a good puller but did not have the legs to pull on bolts in the wholes.Put good amount of tension on the puller,used mild heat,got a little more on puller. Afraid to tighten more,went and had a cold one sitting in the shade. Over on the tractor there was small noise. It had popped and was loose.
Make sure you leave the nut on while pulling unless you want to wind up wearing that flywheel when it lets go.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
