Right on Jim. If you remove the side supporting brackets first, then you can get a bigger swing I think. Once you have the unit removed, then also remove the driveshaft if you're going to run the main engine. 6 or 8 bolts in the front of the crank pulley. The flange has some forcing holes that you can screw the removed bolts into to force the flange out of the pulley.
Before you remount the control, get those threads cleaned up nicely so you can spin the nuts back on by hand - it makes the process much easier. Plenty of antiseize and oil.
As far as spinning those nuts back on, I don't expect to be doing that before late summer, at the earliest. Got to pull the engine, replace the crank, etc.
BTW, I DO have a 1-1/8 wrench after all. Now I'll have to use it.
Good deal. I had my crank turned 030 on all journals, except for the front main which I couldn't obtain 030 bearings for so that was welded back to std.
I forgot to pop my pistons out and clean the rings so I have my fingers crossed that they're not too choked up

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.
