    LA clutch housing problem

    I agree a helicoil will work. If it's going into a blind hole you have to mind the tap type, tap depth and coil length; that's well-explained on the helicoil website and in the catalog.

    LA torque specs

    I have an after-market service book covering L, LA, LI and some LU. For the Deere engine, (not the Hercules) that is probably in your 1944 LA, there are no torque specs shown for the connecting rods or the head. For the head the book states "Tighten capscrews evenly, from the center outwardly...

    Rusty Steel Bits in Tire Bead

    Greetings, I mistakenly posted this in the Paint Forum today, should have posted it here. I bought used tires that must have sat on a wet/rusty rim for years. The tire beads are encrusted with bits of rusty steel from the old rims. Is there a way to get that rusty steel to un-embed itself...

    LA Bull gear removal

    Hotflashjr, after trying unsuccessfully yesterday with a 2-jaw puller, today I used the setup in the attached image and drove the bearing down/out enough to clear the bull gear lip, then pulled the bull gear. The plate was 3/16 steel, 4.25x5", with 2 corners cut at 45 degrees to fit the...

    LA Bull gear removal

    Hotflash, both flanged shafts came out pretty easy. For both, I removed the inner quills, removed the capscrews/washers, and tapped out the shafts. I left the outer quills as-is, screwed to the castings. One flanged shaft came out with just a few hard taps on a wooden dowel (my daughter...
