Getting mean with Gibb keys
38ac:
Lister VA in the shop with typical ex Amish owned problems includinging both Gibb keys having the heads broken off. At least they quit this time instead of ruining the flywheels.
38ac:
The tools used for the shock treatment. After placing a good pull on the key the hub gets a big whack with the 8 Lb sledge and pin with a handle welded on. The key then pulls out.
38ac:
On to stuck flwheels.
Spray some snake oils on if it makes you feel good but 19 years later they will still be stuck. 12 tons pulling and couple solid whacks on the back side and this one moved, NOW spray some snake oil and it will do some good. Often times heat is needed but not on this one. Photo won't pass security for unknown reasons so imagination is required ;D

Nice work as always. The Amish are renowned for their carpentry not their engineering skills. I`ve often wondered why Lister didn`t specify a Gibb key with a bit more meat in the head. Will you be replacing the Gibb keys with Indian copies? The last set I ordered had the wrong taper and had to be filed to fit, they also don`t have the milled slot down the middle.
I`ve had trouble posting pics in the past, check the camera resolution, if the file is too big it will get rejected.

Thanks Bob, The files have all been reduced to proper size. The error messag states that it won't pass security checks ??? Gibb keys must be made in several shacks because there are at least 5 designs from India. Some are right, some not.
