Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-36-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Roll pin size was created by GT 14
The hole in my C-175 steering wheel is 1/4", the roll pin looks to be the same size. The other end is mushroomed so I am assuming it is a full 1/4 not 3/16. Been using a 1/4 punch and no movement yet. Soaking with Sea Foam Deep Creep. What say you experts?

Just went and knocked a roll pin out of one of my C175's a bit and it is 1/4"

Just make sure the punch isn't over 1/4" or mushroomed any at all on the tip or you'll be there all day. The only tip I have is hammer time. :rolling

GT...is the wheel still on the tractor?? Really need to brace the wheel. I have leaned the wheel against a tree with a 2x4....so it is good and solid.....it broke free really quick.

I have it in my big vise, and now that I have the size verified will get a bigger hammer in the game. :beat

Pin is out, (easy). Steering wheel will not budge.
Has anyone tried drilling a hole (under the wheel cover) and using a punch?
I will let it soak another day, then if a no go will cut the shaft and use a coupler.

I have a 12T but you need a hole in the hub. Probably go with cut and coupler, that way I can have a perfect lined up wheel.

I was thinking about replacing my steering wheel on the 416 and I did see the roll pin but should the wheel pull off after pin is removed?
