Main drive bevel pinion replacement

[Anonymous-0]

I am replacing the main drive bevel pinion, and transmission-to-pinion coupling on my 9N. The tractor is split. The hydraulic pump, cylinder and forks are removed. The six (6) screws securing the bearing retainer are removed. I have screwed a threaded rod into the front end of the pinion gear in order to pull the whole assembly out. This rod protrudes through a 4x4 wood block which spans the open end of the housing. I am tightening a nut against the wood block really, really hard . . . . as hard as I can turn a 12" long wrench. Nothing is moving. I am afraid pulling any harder will break something which I don't want to break. Am I missing something? Any advice?

A slide hammer/puller works nice,,, and yes they can be stuck,,, keep pull'n

Thanks for the response. I will keep pulling, and
report on the results.

I think that 2 of the 6 bolt holes are threaded. Use next size bigger bolt in holes and use as jack bolts.

This particular model does not have that feature. However it would have been an excellent design.

I am happy to report success in removal of the pinion gear. I obtained heavy duty threaded rod, nuts, and washers from my friends at the power company. I felt more confident wrenching on these. A short extension on the 12" wrench and it popped free. Now all I have to do is remember how the whole thing goes back together. Thanks for posting responses.
