Oliver 1650 Crankshaft Pulley Removal

Wctribs990 · Aug 1, 2020

Hi, first time poster long time reader here. I’m working on an Oliver 1650 that I have to change the front crankshaft oil seal on. I do have the shape manual for this tractor. I am attempting the remove the crankshaft pulley, but it hits the power steering cylinder in front of it. Do anyone know if I have to remove the power steering cylinder, or is there something that I’m missing to get the pulley off? Thanks for your help!

It should be obvious that if something is in the way, it has to be removed 1st.

Right, thanks Teddy. I guess I need to clarify a little. In order to remove the pulley it looks like the power steering cylinder needs to come out or get moved. In order to do that the 300+ pound cast iron grill needs to be removed so that the cap can come off the cylinder (Seems like a lot to remove a pulley). I’m looking for someone who has experience with Olivers to tell me if there is another way ie loosing the 4 cradle bolts and jacking the engine up? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the typo 200+ pounds is what I meant for the grill weight.

Guys here are good help, but you should probably also post over on the Oliver board, if you haven't already done so. The guys that post over there can probably offer suggestions, too.
