John Deere Model M Belt Pulley Assembly Removal for 3-po

Kris1946A · Jan 27, 2023

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to remove the belt pulley assembly from my 1949 John Deere model M so I can install a three-point hitch. Looking at the shop manual, I'm not sure what parts need to come out to avoid problems down the road. If I remove all the mounting bolts and slide the assembly out, will the oil slinger and drive gear come out with it? Will I need to go in from the front to remove any parts that might break loose and cause problems?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Just unbolt it and slide it out

Sure like to hear how heavy it is and how difficult to remove. Did you do it by yourself?

I was able to take the belt pulley off after removing all four bolts, then "shimmying" back and forth while pulling back. It weighs about 40 pounds I would guess. I could take it out myself.
