bpusmc:  Text me your address at 573 433 nine two seven seven, and I will send you a puller I fabricated today specifically for you to pull this race off your D-2.  My shop is heated, and I send a lot of time as my wife calls in it playing.   I am retired and enjoy making things, so this was todays project.  The Hex ring is bored 1.525 which should slide over the race you want to remove.  Stuff something in the hole to keep the welding slag from getting in the transmission and tack weld the ring to your race.  Screw the 1/2 X 20 bolt into the end of the shaft to protect the threads and provide a place for the center of the puller bolt, attach the puller and pull the race off.  You may have to get some longer 3/8" 16 bolts to use with the puller if these are not long enough but I think this should solve your Delima.

my wife calls in it Tractor Porn 😂🤣😂🤦

there was a poem submitted yrs ago to the old machinery magazine TOMM for short

that a tractor collectors wife had written about being ignored for the old girls in the shed, and how he would come in with the dna of some old girls all over his hands and on the back of his pants. and she lamented about the missing attention & how she wanted to be reincarnated as a old tractor so then maybe she would get the attention she needed.

have to say here that Brian's wife is as talented as he in her own specialty--she creates the most fantastic quilts with inlaid Cat machines throughout it!!!

    Less than a week ago I posted my question here,  and today my bearing race is off. 
Thanks Brian, for making a puller and mailing it to me. A huge ACMOC benefit I had not anticipated!

😁

If anyone would want to understand the nature of this on-line community, this thread would be one of many to share with them-mechanically I’ve five thumbs and a cantaloupe on my shoulders but my D4 slowly continues to get better due to what I’ve learned here and the patient help I’ve received….

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.

and that is what a club should be a group of individuals with a common interest sharing knowledge and expertise to to keep the interest going. and yes it was very nice of Brian to make and post that tool.
