#56 Ferguson TED20 - Removing Lift Arm Shaft - The most difficult job!
Рет қаралды 3,898
4 жыл бұрынWe tried so many different methods to remove the Lift Arms and the Lift Arm Shaft. We even bought a 20 Ton Hydraulic press! Eventually we managed it through a combination of hammering, levering, pressing, pulling, heating and a massive amount of persistence! It turns out one of the bushes was deformed - probably when it was installed, which explains why the lift arms were so stiff to start with! Also the shaft was covered in years of dirt, ancient grease and who knows what else!
Oscar did various gymnastic moves, whilst I practiced my hammer throwing! So whilst we struggled, we also prevailed! Follow along to see just how bad it really was.

Thanks for this video. I have exactly the same set up as you, the same press and the same part stuck, stuck so solid that i was going to give up. Then i saw this it inspired to to carry on. A lot more heat a big hammer and a few hours later it came apart. Job done thankyou

I’m glad to hear it isn’t just me! 🤣 Well done for persevering, heat is definitely the “secret sauce”, of course it’s no real secret, really. Just amazing how much it needs! Now you can proceed with the rest of the job! 😉👍

I have to do exactly the same job to my MF 35, thanks for showing your struggle, and after seeing it, I think I'll leave it. 😃

Hi Joe, they can be tough, but to be honest this is the worst I’ve seen. In hindsight I think a lot more heat would have helped. I’m going to need to do my International next, but that will have to wait until I’ve finished the Fergie. So maybe next year. Good luck if you decide to go ahead. 🤞😉

Gordon, that was a "bear" of a job. Most difficult job is an understatement. I do not have a press or the funds to buy one. Therefore the shaft might just need to remain "as is" when I get around to working on that component.

Hi Charles, if your arms are moving up and down freely then you definitely can skip this part. Also often it is possible to knock them off with a sizeable hammer and perhaps some heat. You’ll just have to see when you get there. In our case it was tougher than I expected although as you will observe as you continue to work through the videos, almost everything on this tractor has been tighter, tougher and harder!! 😉👍🤣

Thank you for sharing your struggle. I had the same challenge with my MF 35. please protect your eyes, when using the press. Regards Poul

Thanks Paul, it was tough going! It would have been a bit easier if we had a better way to heat things, maybe in the future! Point taken on the eye protection. 👍

At least now I have hope. LOL Working on a 1962 Fordson Super Major with the same issue. The left side just slipped off and the bushing almost fell out. The right side however... I'm on week two of MAP / Propane torch heating, pry bars coupled with chisels, PB Blaster and repeated sledgings with a six pound maul.

Hi LMBrown, thank you for your comment. Certainly this was the most challenging thing we encountered. In the end heating, lots of penetrating oil and tons of pressure did the job, but it was at least 10x more difficult than it should have been! Ironically the new bushes etc. just slipped on beautifully! 😂👍

I am rebuilding my top cover on my TO30 and I had to press out my shaft. I wanted to note that I had similar damage to my left side bushing as yours...interesting.

Hi Marvin - well that is very interesting indeed! I wonder if it's as a result of something during the assembly process. I certainly don't think ours had ever been replaced before.

Can be very difficult to remove parts like these that have been on for many years. I've finally found a pulley for the Lister, inexpensive and local and on an incomplete engine. Took it to my banger mate you may have seen rescuing me when my tractor broke at Carrington. However he failed to get it off, and had to wait for a hydraulic puller a week later. Clips are in the video.
