Perfect! I'll tackle it tomorrow. Appreciate all the help guys!

I have basic metal working tools. Welder and grinder. the length isnt the issue. I cant get the legs in between the spindle and bearing. Maybe a cheap hf puller and grind it down? I'm open to suggestions. Tiggi suggested welding pipe to it and pulling it that way but cant wrap my head around...

Okay, that's a fail...

I've done installation of bearings before and thats the way i did it. I never heated the bearing just left in room temperature and froze whatever I was installing it on and it worked great.

Perfect, thanks for all the help

I understand, not too crazy about cutting up the puller i just bought though. Might pick up a cheap HF one if it comes to that, thanks

I'll give the puller a shot when it gets here first. If that doesnt work I may give that a shot. Ive had my welder for a few months now and its got to be one of the most veratile tools. So much I dont even think to use it.

I left it in for 24 hours and nada. Puller will be here tomorrow. Looking at the clearance between the bearing and pully I'm wondering if I'll even be able to get a bit on the bearing with the jaws.

I checked out all the brands you mentioned pendragon. I'm sure they're worth it but Ijust cant justify spending that much. It would be just for everyday use. This one's interesting Craftsman but made in japan...

I'm thinking the digital will be my best bet. Current project is a cb750, daily driver is a Harley.

Good lord, Id have to sell all my projects AND tools to afford that.

Any recommendations on the brand or features? I know they're not complicated tools. I really just want something that will last. I would like to go vintage American made if possible. Found a couple craftsman versions online that are stainless and look well built.

Puller wont be here till friday so I'll give this a try for sure, thanks.

Yes, Hobart 140 with gas. Ive already purchased one but id like to be able to make my own in a few sizes.

So what were the "uprights" used for. Very interesting piece. Are the "bits" original as well?

that's awesome, I didn't know they were even around that early

Yes, theres play in one of the quill bearings and the others are rough. I bought a 5 1/2 inch two jaw puller off ebay. Shaft measures 4 1/2.
