2n crankshaft pulley

(quoted from post at 17:14:57 08/01/15) Is the pulley loose and wobbling or is it bent so it
looks like it wobbles when the engine is running?
Is it the stock pulley or a loader drive pulley?
Either way, I would worry about a loose pulley.

I believe it's stock, no loader. The bolt (for lack of a better word) is tight. I assume it's just bent, but I've never had one apart to know for sure. Do I have to separate the motor from the front end or will it come off without doing that?

On my 9N when I took the stock pulley off and put a loader
pulley on I had to take the front bolster off.
It is not a bad job, it just sounds like one.
Support the tractor under the engine, steering arm and radius
rod off on one side, unbolt the bolster/front end and roll it away
to the opposite side. Do your work, roll it back and reconnect.

I took my hood and doglegs off, but I think it was Colin that
posted and said you can do it by just lifting them up enough to
clear the bolster. His pictures are probably still in the archives.

I believe it may be possible to change that pulley by just
loosening the bolster and moving it forward without removing
it, but I have never tried it myself to say for sure.
Someone here probably has though, hopefully they'll chime in.

I would still want to know if it is bent or wobbling.
They may be two different levels of repairs.

The OEM pulley is a riveted construction and although I have never personally seen it has a reputation for the rivets loosening.

I've done this pulley job many times - take the front bolster off. It's not a lot of work and will make it much easier to R&R the pulley. You will wind up spending less time and experience a whole lot less exasperation.
