[AJD] Adjusting Crank End play in JD A

[Bill Brueck]

This may be way to simple an answer, but I've had the crank out of B, G, and
H models, and I just assembled the clutch side and then the flywheel side
and adjusted the end play by how far the flywheel is slid onto the splines.

Subject: [AJD] Adjusting Crank End play in JD A



     I have been working on my 1945 A lately,  and once I got my clutch
freed up and working properly I noticed that I have about 1/4 - 3/8 inch of
end play in the crank.  When I got to looking at the flywheel side,  I
noticed that the crank is at least that far from being all the way on the
crankshaft.  I have the tools to pull it off.  (I hope)  but does anyone
have
any suggestions for 'pushing' it back on?   I am going
to pull it off first and clean the splines up,  but I can only imagine that
that last little bit is going to require some effort to get it all the way
on.  Any suggestions on how to hold that crank in place without damaging the
main bearings??

        Thanks!
