Hey gentlemen !!

I'm in need of a good hub puller. I need to pull the hubs on my
36. Anybody got an extra for a fair price PM me and I'll buy it along with the shipping of course. I know I can buy one from a dealer but I would rather stay with the group. Thanks and have a great evening. Pat

Try your local parts store, many of them will loan you one for free. I know O'Reilly's does if they are in your area.

Thanks, but I want one of the original ford pullers. I'll probably end up at ebay. I just thought someone here would want to sell one. Thanks anyway. Pat

You might check with the local Model A or early V8 clubs and see if they have one to loan/rent.

If you have the equipment to build one, go on The Hamb and do a search for
Tech- Lo-buck-Early Ford hub/ drum puller. All the principles of the K.R. Wilson puller at bargain basement cost. A fun little project. Vintage Precision sells a puller very similar to the Wilson for around $150 that looks very good and gets good reviews.

Mac van Pelt will rent you the correct puller.

I bought one of these a couple months ago. I will be using it this winter, but haven't tried it yet. It looks to be beautifully made. Totally unlike most of the stuff we unwrap today. http://www.vintageprecision.com/index.html

Thanks for all your input I'll just buy one from a dealer. Thanks and have a good evening. Pat

If you will be using it often enough to justify the cost buying one is a good way to go. If it is a one time deal I would rent it from VanPelt.

Below is the link to that Low Buck puller. This is a damn good looking puller, excellent workmanship, by a man with considerably more time on his hands than money in his pocket. A tool to be proud of, and looks to be lighter in weight than the KRW reproduction puller.

That is nice, I think I'll make one of those if time allows.
I destroyed the cheaper(75.00) store bought one on the last hub I did.
