The lift shaft for the three pt. on my 52 8N has siezed to the bushings and can no longer rotate. I have the lift cover removed from the tractor and all of the parts removed from the lift cover except the lift shaft. My FO-4 manual says to "Bump lift shaft out of lift cover and remove lift ram arm." What does it mean by "bump"? The lift arms were easily removed by lightly prying with a tire tool. The lift ram arm is free to slide on the lift shaft so the only things holding the shaft in are the bushings. I tried (gently) to drive the shaft out, but decided I should probably learn more before I break something. Thanks,
Brent

The three basic things you need are penetrating oil, time/patience, and a big hammer(just kidding, well sort of). "Bump" means you need to wack the thing. Make sure you don't screw up the spines and/or break the lift cover casting. I would recommend a hydraulic press. You may be able to drive the bushings out from the inside. If the ram is free you only need to drive out one of the bushings to get the shaft out.The replacements are not brass/bronze, but look to be some type of steel. Eric

Just my suggestion, but you might try some solvent and let it work its way around and hopefully down into the bushungs. This would help free up some hardened grease and oil. Also maybe try some other type of penatrating oil and spray all around the bushings. Here in Wyoming, rust isn't a big problem like in other areas, but it may be rust on the shaft that is causing some problem. Thus the penatrating oil suggestion. The bushings are brass or bronze so they shouldn't rust but the shaft is steel. I know there are others with more experience than I that will help, but that is my 1 cent worth.
