HCCT tear down question

Post by Don ellis » Mon Oct 04, 2021 7:15 am

I’m starting the restoration of this tester and was wondering about how this pin is removed. I know I can drive it out but without a hole in the other side how do I drive it back in? It’s not like a crank pulley with a hole on both sides.

That looks like a Ford or early Fairbanks HCCT.
Here is an exploded view of your tester.

Sorry, I can't offer any insight on how to get the pin out :?

I would suggest removing the crank handle and pulling the shaft out the back side.

From the exploded view, no need to remove pin. work from the crank end to disassemble. If view is accurate, looks like a taper pin.

Weren't the motor driven ones later? After the shaft is pulled out, probley with the flywheel still attached, drill a hole in the pulley, so the pin could be driven out from the other side.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

The original Ford 18-Z-245 HCCT had a pully.

The bigger question is...

Is that a taper pin with a mushed down head to make sure the taper 'bit'...or...is it a rivet? View from the 6 o'clock position would help. I would tend to agree with others...take it apart from the other side, save that as a last disassemble task...

I'm no purist on things like that...lol. Get it out, drill for a shoulder bolt loctite it in place with a nut and washer... :lol:

Good idea, I hadn’t thought about working it from the other end. It is a taper pin but no provision to remove it. from what I can tell it is a Ford.

I just checked my Ford HCCT. The pin is not tapered, it is about the same fit as a crank pulley pin. I tapped it in a little and then back the other way with a long thin punch. Once it was out about a half inch I just worked it out the rest of the way with a pair if diagonal cutters. That said, your unit looks a lot rougher than mine. Now to go put it back together so I don’t lose the pin.
