Do you want fries with that?
I was ready to install the front crankshaft pulley on my 55 cub and had to come up with a way to heat the pulley. I knew no matter how clean I had the pulley if I was to take it into the house and use sweet things oven there would be H*** to pay, even if I gave her $50 and sent her shopping with her sense of smell there was no way I would get away with it. I thought about getting out the old Coleman camp stove and heating it in a kettle of water, but didn't want it dripping water when I pressed it on. I decided to use the deep fryer without the oil, set the temp control at 275 left it in there with the cover on for 40 minutes then installed. I found with these old eyes I had trouble lining up the key on the shaft with the keyway in the pulley so I filled a 45 degree angle on both sides front edge of the key to help align the two.

I take and put a little soap stone an the end of the crank shaft and I have a long bolt and a pile of washers. Put the impact to it and just keep adding washers till it's on the proper distance.

Anyone else heard of this method?
I come from the air cooled volkswagen generation and we had a similar issue with the gear on the end of the crank. The accepted method to putting the gear on was to heat it up in motor oil. Not sure why it was just passed on in all the magazines and from mechanic to mechanic like you folks do here with heating it in the oven. Doing that it would slide on with just your hands. I think I'll try it on my parts 52 as I practice up for the real job.

Gotta stupid question....
I always see these toaster ovens in yard sales etc... $5.00 to $10.00. Would they be useful for heating up the pulleys and such
Like I said, probably a stoopid question, but thought I would ask anyways..
Cheers

Hey Dave L. When I was "between" colleges (back in the mid 1960's) I served as a Warrantee Manager at Havel Motors in Morristown, N.J. (the 2nd. oldest Volkswagen Dealership to open in the U.S.A. back in 1955). As a former line mechanic (yes ol' Country did that too, before being promoted to Warrantee Manager) we did that to aid in lubricating the pulley as the heat expanded it...it slid on the shaft easier!
My warrantee office in 1964 & 65 was "piled high" with Volkswagen clutches and pressure plates. The 1300 cc and 1400 cc engines back then were notorious for warping clutches and the pressure plates were poorly sprung!
Needless to say...going back to college was a REAL SMART idea after my stint with the Havel brothers!

Rudi,
I like the toaster oven idea also. I garage sale on the way to and from morning errands that can only be done Saturday morning just shortly after the garage sales open. I also see toaster ovens. There small wouldn't take up much room in the shop. I haven't ever paid any attention to what temperature they could reach.
Country,
I think I still have a sachs clutch plate for a 1300 still in the box somewhere. Figure I should throw it out on epay and get rid of it to someone who could use it.
