So, I won with the removal of the tapered pin without damaging anything. The whole reason to get into here is to repair/replace the broken sheave (?). I think that just threads on and off but I'm stuck at how to remove the part above it. All hints will be gratefully appreciated.

Okay, thanks. Hadn't thought of a grease seal sitting there. We'll see how it goes but not until next week. Funeral tomorrow - pretty sure it's not my own but getting to have fewer and fewer old friends that's for sure. Jack
(quoted from post at 21:12:14 06/30/16) Thanks. Yeah I try to stretch a dollar. Just checked price of the seal. With tax it is about $40. I pretty much sold off all my tools and then found a need to bring a Farmall H back to life to get a grandkid interested in mechanical work since he lives on a farm. I guess you should never get rid of anything 'cause sure as shoot you will need it pretty soon thereafter.
(quoted from post at 14:05:39 07/10/16) Okay, it was a good sendoff to an old friend. Lots of family and friends made sure of that. His widow is getting a good hand by many to sort out all the paper work and preparations to sell off real estate. Never easy but there is lots of support.
Back to the tractor. Sad but true, the grease seal was never going to come out with various tricks. It did not survive intact. After that, there is a spacer that took a lot of heat, a lot of penetrant and a bit of blue air. No scraped knuckles or blood letting though, so that was good. Pics show where I'm at now. My assumption is that I must drive the threaded shaft through the hub bearing for removal. Any wisdom to pass along before I take the next plunge?? Thanks, Jack

A bit clearer than mud. I do like the statement "remove" in many manuals. I guess there is an assumption it is obvious how to remove, when it sometimes can be anything but obvious.
I do think it is a drift pin and that it can be punched out. The pin was found quite by accident in cleaning off all the grime and hardened real mud. Having found that, I cleaned out the inside of the hub shaft and poked around for a while in the general vicinity of the pin. Eventually I found a pin-sized hole and dug around with a small pick until hardened grease was removed from the hole. Now at that point the pick bottomed out on the pin, probably about 1/16" into the shaft. The visible pin on the pulley is 1" from the end of the hub shaft. The hole on the inside is 1 7/16" from the end of the hub shaft, so the pin is driven in on a bit of an angle.
I guess I have nothing to lose by trying to punch it through. The inside diameter of the hub shaft provides plenty of room for the pin to fall inside.
I may not get at that today. The honey-do list has a certain priority that needs to be respected for the sake of continued marital bliss.

Cheers,
