I had a hard time getting the countershaft nut off of an H. It would not budge. I knocked the plugs out of the shifter so I could pull the shifter out. I took a long narrow bar and shifted two of the shift rails into gear. This puts the transmission into two gears at the same time. This holds the shafts from turning and you don"t get any movement like you do when it is in one gear and trying to move. I made a special socket to fit the nut. I took a steel pipe coupler that was 1 3/4 inch inside diameter. It slides snuggly over the countershaft nut. I cut two grooves in the pipe coupler 1/2 inch wide about 5/8 inch deep. The grooves need to be straight across from each other. I welded a piece of 1/2 inch key stock in the grooves in the coupler. I welded a pipe plug in the other end of the coupler. I had my belly pump out so I had room to put a 3/4 inch long handle ratchet with a 1 3/8 inch socket on it. (It fits over the square end of the pipe plug in the coupler) The reason I made the socket is so it keeps the countershaft nut from spliting in half. I have had that happen. With the special socket, it supports the outside of the nut while there is force on the inner groove. If you don"t have the belly pump removed and are limited for space, then you can use a large crescent wrench or pipe wrench on the pipe coupler/special socket. You will need two new 5/8 inch flat drive in steel plugs when you put the shifter back in. You can get them at most napa stores. Hope that this helps.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
