Hello guys, I have a buddy that wants me to replace the crankshaft dampner/ harmonic balancer on his JD 8300. I used to work on JD construction equipment, and I do a lot of tractor work, just not usually on John Deere tractors. The tractor is about an hour from me, so I'd like to find out ahead what I'll need aside from the normal hand tools. Since my buddy says there is some sort of a gearbox attached to the dampner/crank pulley, I'm not sure what's involved there. I'm assuming this dampner requires a puller? Any special procedures required on this tractor? And finally, anyone got an idea about how much time I should plan on to get this done so I can schedule the rest of the day or weekend? Thanks alot guys, just wanna be prepared so I don't have to make a lot of trips up there.
