Taking off the rear wheels....

Postby Joey » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:04 pm

I got pics of the Super AV I recently purchased but our computer caught a virus and is in the shop. I'm currently using my wife's laptop to read the board and it's not configured for taking pics off the camera. I'm going to try to use my work computer if I can squeeze in a few free minutes.

I need help trying to figure out how to block up the tractor and remove both rear wheels for cleaning and priming. What's the best to stabilize the tractor for an extended period of time while the wheels get cleaned up? I'm used to working with Cubs and this tractor is my first big one.

Wood cribbing should do the job. Some 6 X 6's or 8 X 8's would be a good start.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

If you place blocks on the front axle so it can't piviot, that will help stabilize the tractor.
Best,
Mike

What's the best support point, the circular diamond faced area under the rear finals? Also, what kind of jack would you use? I have a small floor jack but I don't think it's big enough to lift the tractor.

I use a floor jack and jack up on one side of the drawbar frame. Then crib up under the axle, or could be the bucket loader frame - depending on how the tractor is equiped. Neighbor and I used the bottom/main bracket of the 3 point a few days ago when we put on his tire chains. Wheel not being worked on, brake locked, chocks front and rear and chocks on front wheels.

I use floor jacks - cause things slip - and you do not want to be under the tractor.

Cribbing. I have access to sections of large tree trunks, 12 to 18 inches in diameter. I cut them in pairs so I have a pair about 18" long and another about 24" long. I use them as the base then crib up as necessary.
I have an excuse. CRS.
