JD A Crank help

I need to work the crankshaft in my 1942 A, but am not a mechanic, just a tinkerer, but am willing to tackle it. I got an I & T manual, but it is not very helpful and even says on the cover that it is intended for experienced mechanics. I talked to the JD manual folks and they said there is not a JD manual for crank removal. I also got the J & D Productions video on the JD B overhaul and it tells just enough to get you (ME) in trouble. Is there another more detailed source for this info, possibly an individual has documented their own repair efforts. Thanks for any help. JD

JD, John Deere puts out a service manual for the styled B which is well illustrated with photos and, while it isn't for your A it will give you a pretty good idea of the process, I recommend using it along with the I&T manual and this site. I bet you can do the job. Good luck. bob

JD, there are a lot of parts that have to be removed to get the crank out. Give us a little idea of why it has to come out & what you already have apart & we can talk you through it. If you decide to remove it without the proper manual or outside help MARK EVERYTHING with a punch mark BEFORE removal, such as flywheel to crank, cam gear to crank gear, clutch driver to crank, rod bearing caps for #1 & #2 & to reassmble the correct cap on the correct rod, keep ALL gaskets (many are really shims) with the part or cover removed, keep track of the gaskets (shims) between the fan shaft & governor, & try not to destroy the governor to case gasket as I don't know if that gasket is available anymore. Don't forget the oil line going to the governor inside the case.

I rebuilt my '48A, including removal and reinstallation of the crankshaft. It takes time and effort to get it out, but I'm only a heavy duty tinkerer also. If you have a specific question as you take the tractor apart, I'd be glad to help you. Beyond the I&T book, I don't know of a more detailed instruction source.
