I have the lift cover off in a vise to clean 50 years of crud from the hyraulic linkage and to make needed adjustments. I noticed that the left lift arm can be moved quite a bit, indicating a worn bushing. I can't get the lift arm off to replace the bushing and I am wondering if it is worth the trouble. I read the archives and got a little discouraged. Does anyone have a good method of getting the lift arm off the rocker shaft? Is it better to have the lift cover on the tractor for the arm removal? Any advice or comments are appreciated.

Thanks

I tried to remove the lift arms on the tractor and didn't suceed. After everything else was taken apart I grabbed the lift arm with a large bearing splitter and put the whole thing in a press, used a lot of heat and preessed it off. A bigger challenge was to press the rocker shaft out of the rocker shaft arm inside the cover. Look back in this board as I just posted a note about that a few days ago. I did get it all apart and built uf the rocker shaft with a MIG welder and lathed it back to 2" as it showed more wear than the bushings. Take a look at your cam follower pin while you are in that area, mine was nearly cut right off. Search the archives for loads of info about this part. Good luck.

It might be more labor than it's worth, the lift arms will fight you all the way while your try'n to remove them, you'll neat heat and lots of it and yes bolt the cover back on the tractor when removeing the lift arms.

hope this helps

later,dave
