AICO remote handle issue

Cbrown9064 · Jun 30, 2013

Hey!

When I got the tractor the seller handed me a couple of handles and said they came off the remote valve, he thought they were in the way.

So I was looking to put them back on the other day and cannot figure this out. Starting to make me think they are the wrong handles since they are bare metal and the rest of the tractor had a repaint.

They look like the handles on this valve, but they way they are I cannot see how they fit.

AICO remote valves - Yesterday's Tractor Co. (#522674-1)

Below are pictures, but it looks like there is a spring pin driven in on the one lever to hold it on the shaft. Weird. That is what makes me think they are not for this tractor, but perhaps another piece of machinery the farmer (seller) had and thought these were for the Ford? The shaft and handles look like they would work with the valve perfectly (width, angle) but how to get them on is the question.

Tried PB Blaster, heat, banging (lightly) but it seems that handle is "fixed" to the shaft.

Thanks in advance!

looks correct to me. right handle is for top spool. is missing the lil posts with a ball on it that actually sets inside the hole in the spool. etc.

OK, will do some more work to the get shaft off that one handle. It is really "frozen" on there. Perhaps some more heat.

I am missing the little ball stud on the one handle, but the handle is cracked and don't know if a ball stud would fit in there anymore. I have a small dowel/pin that came with it and seems like it would engage the spool. Don't have anything to run with the remote right now, but the handle thing was bugging me.
