jd 1 1/2hp E Cam Removal

[6hpMarty]

Does anyone have a suggestion as to the removal of the cam shaft on a 1 1/2 hp JD E ?? 1 still has the gear on and is very stuck( cant get gear off or cam shaft to turn) the second is just the cam shaft only but is very stcuck! Any help???? Marty.

Hey Marty the Cam shaft runs on a Brass Bushing So I am guessing some heat and some lube should Get er loose.. Ed has all the bushings so they are replaceable.. Lata

The heat is what I am worried about??? Do I have to be really really careful with the brass bushing that is in the block (cam bushing)? I have 2 of these cams to get out and I would really like to save them both and use them , Marty

Every 1 1/2 JD Cam Bushing I have seen is Junk and needs replacement I dont believe they are to spendy from ol Hit n Miss... The bushing wears out and ruins the cam gear after a while...

If I'm not mistaken, the threads on that cam is lefthand. I'm not real sure about that, it's been awhile since I have had one apart, but something in there is lefthand.

It's not the cam nut that has the left hand threads It's the governer nut
