Disc question

[Fullers Farmalls]

How do you get the nut off of the axle in order to change the discs?
Mine has a piece of metal on is that is up against the nut im
thinking this is to keep the axle from spinning. Any help will be
appreciated.

u have to bend the metal and take off the nut, then slide the axle out the opposite end from the nut .

I just changed one tonight. You have to bend those tabs out. They are there to keep the nut tight. My disk is a ford and the nut is an 1 1/2" and next to it is another nut that is 2". The 2" Nut is just slid on the shaft with a key way that is casted into it. Hold the 2" nut with a wrench so the whole shaft don't spin and use a 1 1/2" wrench and remove the nut. Mine was tighter than hell!

Once you bend the flat tab away from the nut, use impact wrench to loosen nut from axle. If you don't have a impact wrench,put a pipe wrench around one of the spools between the blades to keep the axle from turning. Ken Sweet

That metal tab is often bent in two directions- one against the flat on the nut, the against a flat on the disc collar. Just straighten the one on the nut. It slides off, and is still reuseable.

That is instead and does the same job as a lock washer and can be replaced with a lockwasher.
