Terra Tiger gonna take one forthe team...

[simpleton7016]

I bought another "parts" Terra Tiger TT 18. No engine, no chains, 3 decent ballon tires, 3 bad. Primary drive shaft is good but needs new clutch packs. Jack shaft appears good. Most of all, the axels and spockets appear good. But if they are anything like the other Tigers I have torn apart, the sprockets will be rusted to the axle's and almost impossible to remove in one piece. In the past, I have cutoff the axles to get them out. I hate to say it, but I think I this time, the body is going to get sacrificed. This tub is better than my other tubs, but I need axle's more than body's. If I get the axles out in one piece, I can get the sprockets off....but it is almost impossible to get a good angle to bang them out while they are in the tub.

For the lifeofme,Ido not know how this one survived and none of my others did not, but the original gas tank is good! Woohoo! Finally a good one!!

Before you hack the body, Fill it with water to just below the axles and use an oxy acetylene torch to heat em up, really hot. (you can quench the axles if you're afraid of annealing them, but hard steel breaks, they probably aren't hardened now, but someone who knows for sure, please chime in ) and don't get the sprocket teeth really hot) worst comes to worst and you burn the tub, you were gonna wreck it anyways. PB Blaster the CRAP out of em before the cool too much, it'll draw in with the hot steel, and use a slide hammer (While HOT) Also you can try twisting, pry-bar between studs (replaceable if needed) and use an old LONG section of chain, loop around sprocket, feed thru pipe, pull tight with pipe RIGHT AT SPROCKET and put a screw driver thru links on both sides on other end of pipe (Sturdy pipe BTW) one person pry forward on, say, pipe, other in other direction on Pry Bar.
CAUTION: You BOTH MUST be prepared for the chain to break or bar to pop loose suddenly, don't put yourself in a situation you'll be hurt if it pops, it probably will if they're really that tight. But I bet with a long pipe/chain and long pry bar that will pop em loose. (Again, add heat if you can when you're set up before prying)
