Any tricks to pull front harmonic balancer off? Ford 3000...

I am about to change the leaking timing cover gasket and the front crankshaft seal on my ford 3000 diesel and is there a special puller or tool to put the balancer? Thanks
 
Pretty simple task really.
Remove the 3/4" bolt and have at it with a gear puller.

I cn not say for sure on that one since I have not messed with it but yes there is a harmonic balancer puller tool made for the ones on cars and trucks so it may also work on that tractor if the pulley has the bolt holes in it. They cost less then $10 or at least the last one I go did. It works on steering wheels also
 
Thanks for the replys, I guess the jaw puller make work better since my harmonic balancer puller has a smaller bolt pattern than the bolt hole pattern in the front pulley.
 
I own 2 of those and both cost me less then $10 each. Have had one of them for a couple decades and got the newer one just a few years ago and still cost about the same.
 
If it is in fact a true balancer then a regular gear type puller can break the pulley in two
 
If it's got a harmonic balance it's the first one I've seen. Should have a plain old simple cast steel pulley. Put a 2 or 3 jay gear puller on it and have at it.

Rod is right, my 68 3000 diesel engine has only a cast pulley, it has the threaded holes for the pump drive too.
I would not want to use a jaw puller on it as it is pretty thin, but the other style of puller would work just fine pulling on the threaded holes.
