[AT] tractor question

[Mike Sloane]

I use a sleeve puller from E&K Ag. Products, HCR 3, Box 905, 
Gainesville, MO 65655, <ekag at webound.com>. I have only pulled dry sleeve 
IH and Ford sleeves with it, but I would think that wet sleeves would be 
even easier.

You can see the puller at work on a Ford 2N at: 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/1946_ford_2n/2n_overhaul_3_31_05_11.html>
  and on a Farmall 706 at: 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/farmall_706_tractor/ns-2.html>

I have heard of people with lathes making their own pullers (the tricky 
part is the slug at the bottom that has to match the ID and OD of the 
sleeve exactly). But I lack both the resources and skills, so I bought 
the tool, and it has paid for itself several times over.
