I bought a john deere number 15 trip sub soiler at an auction over the weekend and I know it is after 1942 since it has an enclosed clutch assembly. It has been modified and beefed up, but the trip clutch doesn't work (it clicks in reverse, but does not rotate in forward).
The clutch looks like it is the same as a trip plow, so I was wondering if you could help me with some information on disassembly? I took the end cover, dust seal, retaining pin, and collar off/out. I have managed to free the 3 carriage bolts that should retain the wheel and they move in and out and turn, but the wheel will not come off. I know that there are some keys and I think the shaft might be tapered, but cannot free the wheel. A puller doesn't seem to be doing the trick even after greasing and lubricating/penetrating fluid.
How does a normal john deere trip plow clutch come apart? Any tips, tricks, or procedure?
Thanks for any help in advance.
