I have an old (70's) Troy Bilt Horse tiller that I am trying to install a new engine on, but one of the engine mount bars (the two round bars that the engine slides up and down on for clutching the belts and the reverse disc).
I need to get these out to get the engine mount off to change the engine. I have tried penetrant oil and beating on it with a 4lb hammer, but it won't budge.
I was avoiding taking a torch (propane, not ox-ace cutting) to it to heat the part of the trans case that it goes through, with hopes of expanding it. I was avoiding this, as I didn't want to destroy the paint on the case, nor to ignite the penetrant oil that I already put on it.
If anyone here has any ideas, please share them.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
