I am replacing the outer annular bearing on my 39 H's governor shaft with one of the new tapered roller bearings. I "welded out" the race in the outer cover, but the race on the shaft wont budge. I even welded a washer to it so I could get on it with a puller, but it just bent the heavy washer. I am left with only 2 options in my mind. Pull the shaft and work on it outside the tractor (most likely cutting off the race carefully with a grinder). Or use a dremel on the race while in the tractor, while keeping he grinding dust out of the housing somehow. Any other methods? And yes, I am sure that I didnt accidentally weld it to the shaft. It has grease bubbling out from underneath all the way around, but he damn thing wont move. Cant use a splitter either due to lack of space with it still in the tractor.
FYI crankcase vapor is flammable. Had the entire contents WOOF on me even through the aluminum foil guard that I had packed between the outer race and governor gear to keep slag and sparks out of the crank case. On the plus side, after it did that I could weld with impunity because there was no more oxygen in the engine case. Going to take a long time for my arm hair to grow back!
