[AT] tractor restoration lessons wanted

[Larry Goss]

LOL!  But you don't "tune" a tractor with a sledge hammer either, Charlie.  I tell the guys on another group that's devoted to MY tractors (Power King's) that if they have to use a hammer for operations. they're probably not using the right technique.

But having said that, I have a riding lawn mower hanging from my engine hoist like a piece of dead meat while I try to remove the engine pulley.  Removing the pulley has to happen so the drive belts can be changed.  It's too bad the original assembly did not make use of any anti-seize grease.  As a result, a ten-minute job will now take four to five days and cost $30 in new parts that should not have been needed.
