JD Generator Gear Removal

[Steve Swan]

What is the prescribed method for removing the generator drive gear 632-18 ?

[Jerry Wieland]

I made a special puller. I do not know what the factory intended. Jerry

Steve, if I remember right. My 4 speed tranny kicker gear puller fit that thing perfectly. Bob L

Thanks for your replies. If you could share pictures of the pullers, i'd appreciate it.

Here's the genuine H.D. one that as well as the generator gear also pulls off the half time pinion.
It's had a hard life and at some stage has had a 3/8 bolt put into it.
Originally it would have been 5/16.
It' 8.00 am Xmas morning here so Merry Xmas and a Prosperous New Year to one and all.

Thank you for the picture. When you say half time pinion, are you referring to the keyed gear on pinion shaft?

[Robert Luland]

4 speed kicker gear puller. Looks just like it.

[Steve Swan]

Bob, can that puller be purchased as a new part and if so, from who ? I'd like to purchase one if they are available. Thanks in advance. Steve

The gear on the timing side mainshaft that drives the timing gear train which we, over here, have always called the "half time pinion".
It's what our tutors always called it so its just a thing that has stuck from all those years ago.
Its like the car/truck gearbox thing. Spigot shaft, first motion shaft, input shaft. 3 names for the same thing so I'm sorry if I confused things by calling it the Half Time Pinion but its just the way I was taught.

Steve, I don't remember where I got the puller but most likely V-twin or Mid West. It wasn't expensive. I used that little puller on a lot of different stuff. Handy gadget. Bob
