HCCT tear down question
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.

Re: HCCT tear down question
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

Re: HCCT tear down question
I would suggest removing the crank handle and pulling the shaft out the back side.

Re: HCCT tear down question
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.

Re: HCCT tear down question
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!

Re: HCCT tear down question
The original Ford 18-Z-245 HCCT had a pully.

Re: HCCT tear down question
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...

Re: HCCT tear down question
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.

Re: HCCT tear down question
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.
