You can stand on the arm, or use a bar to compress the 2 springs, and at the same time use 2 flat bars to hold the springs up and free from the cross shaft and they come free. the tube is available at menards for $8.00 for 3 feet.ĭan, oldscorpman's tools are very handy!, I seem to never have enough patients to weld one up, but it is not hard to take apart if you have a helper in the shop. the tubes that are on the shafts will be corroded tight and your best bet is to lightly cut into them to split them and just make new ones. the h-frame in the back normally doesn't want to give up the axles shafts unless you remove and grease them every other year a can of pb blaster and a torch is usually needed. Once you get the outer wheels off you can attempt to get the side rail off the axles with a rubber hammer. Obj1 has a much nicer one but mine works good,the next problem you will face is getting the boogie wheels off the shafts,a pulley puller just bends the wheels so you get to make another special tool that goes up and over and behind the bogie wheel. the front springs need to be pushed down and out at the same time, i made this tool for that project out of some scrap metal. the design is great, the problem is you need to take the suspension apart every other year if it is used in snow(grass draggers dont have this issue)and clean and re-grease everything or it freezes up. you will learn to sting together many swear words and even invent some along the way as you work on this. 7 of my 9 scorpions have this suspension and i have been working on these for 45 years.
