Well, I pretty much finished the B (see pic) and everything turned out good. I'm detailing it out now and I need adjust the clutch. So, how do I remove the clutch cover without scratching or chipping the paint job around the edge of the pulley and clutch cover? Any tips, tricks or words of advice?

I`m curious as to the serial number of your B. And also as to why you converted it from a B-N to a B-R? Real pretty paint/restoration!

I don't know what you mean, I didn't convert it from a BN. There is nothing from the JD shipping records to indicate it was ever a BN. The serial number is 7125.

My grandfather started his B one day with it in gear. When it popped off the clutch cover blew off ad went half way across the field.

There's no easy way to remove the cover without chipping/scratching the paint. The leather-covered screwdriver or prybar is about the best method. Tap real lightly around the circumference of the cover with a small hammer and carefully work it off clear around. Be ready to catch it when it pops off.

Once the adjustments have been made, bump it back on with your hand and get out the touch-up brush and mix up a tablespoonful of paint. It will take about three or four passes to build up to the correct thickness. I discovered that, if the whole tractor looks as good as yours does, (most) people will never notice the touch-ups. They are distracted by the whole, awe-inspiring package.

Great job and congratulations! Maybe you will inspire my brother to restore his '35 B.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the same if it got restored. The historical significance would be lost if you painted over that faded paint. You keep it just the way it is!

"try using a toliet bowl plunger and suck it off the tractor" That's a hoot! Using a screwdriver/pry bar padded with rubber or leather was the only thing I could think of. Or mabe a shaped piece of wood that would fit between them..... .

Actually the toilet plunger suggestion may not be too far off. You might try one of those really strong suction cup tools that the professional glass installers use. I've seen dents pulled with those things, so it might just pop off that pulley cover, too.

Hey, I have one of those at work! We used to have an exhibit area in one of my stores and we used it to open the cases. I'll bring it home and give it a try.
