I need to remove the sticking clutch in my 855D and need help from those who have removed clutches before from early models: 825i, 850D or 855D. Early is considered SN: below 060000. All of these machines require clutch puller tool, JDG1641.
Please Note: Gators with SN 060001 and above use a different puller, JDG11200 with different threads. (I am not interested in this)
I hate to pay for a special tool when a home solution is available and much cheaper. Example: Common hex bolt and appropriate rod to push against. So I’m looking for help in what will work, so it can be purchased prior to removal.
Need:
1. Confirmation threads are 9/16-18
2. JD Puller substitute solution: Bolt and pusher rod diameter and length. Example Hex head bolt 9/16-18x4.0” long purchased from Lowes and hex head bolt 1/2-12x2.5” long with head removed.
Perhaps the attached photos will help demonstrate what I am looking for. Looking for a solution such as the 2nd photo. Remember this is for the older style clutch.
Thanks in advance for your help.
