I am trying to replace the seals in the axles. I have been trying to get to the nuts on the end of the axles inside rear end. I am trying to get the clutch shaft out so I can get to these nuts. I have done everything my manual explains and I can not break the shaft loose. The book says to use a suitable puller, any ideas what would work here? The end of the shaft is a spline. If I conquer this task any idea where I can get these seals for the axles?

i bought a slide hammer from a tool store it screws into the threaded adjuster on vicegrip plyers i think its a bodyshop thing. clamped it on the back of the shaft and it came out about 4 hits later

Did you use the vise grips to attach to the spline end of the shaft? If so did it mess the shaft up at all?

The pullers I have seen were made from a piece of spline alightly narrower that the space in front of the spline on the rear of the shaft welded to a tube slightly larger than the OD of the spline. This has a threaded rod about 4" long welded to it. A U shaped piece of 3/4" steel with a hole in the center is placed over the spline on the rear of the shaft then turned so the small in the ID aligns with the large spline on the OD and held in this position with vice-grips while a nut is tuned on the threaded rod to pull the shaft.

Since you already have the top cover removed, you can use a pipe wrench or vice-grips on the shaft, near the front of the top cover hole, to pry against to move the shaft toward the rear of the tractor. Make sure that you have removed the locknut, set screw and woodruff key from the clutch assembly before you try to remove the shaft. Smooth any marks you have made on the shaft before you put the shaft back in. The rear bearings on the shaft, that are snug in the housing, is what you have to move.

We tried to pry the front end of the shaft using a pipe wrench with no avail, we even tried smacking the pipe wrench with a hammer and still did not break it loose. I made a "C" shaped plate made with two holes in it and (2) plates made to put bolts in to try to use it as a puller and it bent the 1/4" plate and stripped out a 3/8" bolt. Any idea where I could find a spline to try to use like you suggested or any other ideas? With everything we have tried so far, it appears it is going to take a great deal of force to break it loose.
