The service manual for my Jubilee used some shop terms that this non-mechanic is not fimiliar with.
One being Drifting the pin out. What does that mean?

And while we are on the subject what are some other terms and definination that you guys use in the shop that would be benificial to us non-mechanics.

Don,

A drift pin is what a GI's mother used to wear when her son got drifted into the Army. The drift is gone now so most mothers leave them in the shop where they get used for all other manner of use.

Some other helpful shop terms.

"Ballpeein" hammer. That's when you drink to much and work to litte and you starts to feel the peein right up into your ba**s.

"Two stroke", "Four Stroke". This is a term used for stayin power. (I used to be a two stroker but now I'm a four).

"Horsepower". This can be used in conjuction with two and four stroke. ex: If the horsepower in your two strokes exceeds the limit, your liable to exite your ballpeein apparatus until your pin drifts!

Don, all in good fun, I hope you don't mind. Regards, Mark.

It means using a punch smaller in diameter than the pin you are trying to push out, normally called a drift punch. They usually have a flat or blunt end rather than a point or taper to them like most punches do. To learn this technique successfully, you need a drift punch ( you can use a variety of things or make your own ) and a big a** hammer. Align the punch and give it a powerful swat with the hammer. If the whole tractor does not " drift " across the floor slightly when you hit the punch, you didn't use a big enough hammer. If instead you hit the punch and feel your feet slipping or " drifting " backwards, you used a big enough hammer, but just didn't swing it fast enough. Hope this helps ! And by the way..... . I was just BS'ing you a bit there. Have fun with the drift punch.

It means using a "drift" (a punch) to drive the pin out.
