[quote="restore49"]For Old Magnet:
Talked to technician at VanBergin on how to get snap ring out of Positork Drive Pinion. He has special tool - uses a Vise to crush barrel enough to distort snap ring out of groove - then rotates 90 degrees and crushes back round!!! Set up drilled a hole and pushed snap ring down to catch edge. Bob.

Thanks for the info. I already tried drilling a hole to access snap ring. I was not happy with the result. I didn't try distorting the housing. For what they cost I'd just as soon buy a new complete drive.
11/64 drill a hole threw the round housing to center area of snap ring - 1/2" from open edge of ring. Reversed drill so round smooth end is pushing on snap ring. Push down with drill in drill press till you can catch the edge and pop out.
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."
