I'm deep into resurrecting a MH 35 (not Super, but with variable speed drive) I bought in Kentucky and had shipped to California. The header was ruined by the trucking company, so while waiting for new sheet metal I've been getting the engine and other systems back up and running. Overall the machine is in decent shape, with the kind of wear I'd expect for its age.
My biggest challenge has been trying to disassemble the unloading auger pulley assembly to replace the worn spline shaft (P/N 223 338 M91). The shaft & flange are bolted to the engine fan belt pulley, but behind the idler pulley (350 396 X1). There are 3 holes in the idler pulley, but not enough surface to get a puller on it, or room to get a wrench onto the bolts retaining the flange and splined shaft to the engine pulley.
I committed the fatal error of cracking a chip off the engine pulley yesterday, before realizing that it is bolted onto the crankshaft. Duh. Hopefully I can still run a fan belt on it, but I now have to pull the whole dang thing to get it re-welded & repaired.
But I can't even do that until I figure out how to remove the idler pulley. It is a press-fit bearing held by a snap ring, which I've removed.
Who can help me with this?? I've managed to remove all other sheaves and pulleys with minimal damage but this one has me stumped.
Thanks!
