Remove crank pulley TO35 Stan Diesel?

I'm looking for direction in removing the crank pulley on my 23C diesel. Anyone done it? What method did you use? The OD of the pulley is much to fragile to grab with any type of conventional puller. I've even gone as far as to see if I could find a used one in the event I trash the one I have, no luck so far.

Looking for a a tractor grave yard as well.
 
I have a to 35 with gas engine. I have held that
pulley with a chain wrench, they are required tools
if you own an old fergy and equipment.

Note to file: my neighbor has one of those old to
35 diesels, he was wanting to sell it, if interested
let me know and I will try to get his contact info.
 
Should have added that I've got the crank bolt loose and removed, need to get the pulley itself off the crank so I can remove the timing chain cover. I want to replace the timing chain and check the chain tensioner.
 
(quoted from post at 06:50:09 01/29/14) When I overhauled mine the pulley cam off easy with two crowbars close to the hub. The chain and tensioner were worn and needed replaced on mine.

I thought about using a couple of crow bars but was concerned I would deform the cover. When I do get it off I intend to put a couple of screw holes in it so I can remove it without a whole lot of drama.

Dieseltech, have you converted your oil filter over to a spin on?

That what it looks like pulley is part of the hub.
 
Usually? they just pull off using both hands and a cushion to stop
you falling on yer azz!. When replacing the cover do not tighten the
bolts until you have fitted the pulley....it helps centralize the seal on
the pulley .. Try Ervine Nolt in PA for parts..........Sam

I did get it off. I used a little heat and a couple of crow bars to get it moving, pulled with my hands and then I fell on my azz :lol:

Thanks for the info. I will need to get a chain, adjuster and some gaskets. Chain was loose and the adjuster was worn as Dieseltech made mention.

Questions, does anyone offer just say valve cover and timing chain gaskets or do I need to get sets?
 
The oil filter is still original, has not been changed to a spin on. Engine has been overhauled with new sleeves and pistons, new modified valve guides and larger Deutz valves machined to fit. Mine is an early model with the thermostart manifold. Also reworked the center block freeze plug for a block heater as tractor sometimes is used on a 5 foot snowblower.
 
Dr. Loch I have the original MF shop manual for an FE 35 that covers all the engines and the whole tractor. They are much better than the I&T manuals offered by most places.I downloaded it years ago and I've burnt it onto cd's since then. If you ever need or want a copy just let me know.
 

I would, thank you. The I & T is lacking in some of the detail I would like. Does that manual have any information about the valve timing events? I'm going to put my degree wheel on the crank to check the valve timing events injector pump timing from the hole in the block & flywheel. I can back figure after I insert the 1/4 dowel through the block into the flywheel. I'll document the information once I have it. From some other literature I have read you can alter the cam timing in 1-1/2 degree stages depending on how you remount the chain wheel to the cam sprocket.
 
Mine seemed like it was on there for the long haul... I was intending to bust it apart after I located and bought another... I couldn't find one. so I had to take as much time and care as it took to come off the crankshaft. I think Sam should consider a suitcase full of things like this, that just aren't for sale on this side of the pond... unless it is a pull it yourself in a junkyard full of copperheads and rattlesnakes... I'll stand off to the side and watch Sam take the pulley off that one...
 
Now that I have the lower pulley off I've drilled and tapped it 3/8 - 16 so I can use my balance wheel puller the next time. Will post a picture once I get through painting it.
