     Although we have had a HEAVY DUTY wheel puller for more than 5 years for "S" engines that in some instances will pull "O" engine wheels we have not actually had a dedicated one for "O".

     In the coming days we will have such a tool. Based on the same HEAVY DUTY design the new wheel puller will have a much wider jaw adjustment and a much longer axle drive stroke. The price, of course, will be slightly higher but not by much.

     Your thoughts..

     Take a look at the "S" puller at

The puller shown on the LBR webpage is very similar in design to the Timko puller. Frank makes his in two sizes, one for Standard Gauge and one for 0. I think the Standard Gauge puller can be adjusted to pull at least some 0 gauge drivers, but I haven't tried it. I have the Standard Gauge puller and I like it. Pricing is similar to the LBR S gauge puller.

 

What I think would be excellent is a three-jaw wheel and gear puller. That would be easier to use than a two-jaw tool, and more stable. There are automotive gear pullers that could probably be used as a basis for such a tool. 

 

I agree with John and Lee about the website. Those very long pages with lists in text format are not especially user friendly.

Very serious - it costs $325. Looks like a good design, but that's a lot of money. 

I was able to buy my Bridgeport mill for only a few bucks more than that. Make a few of those and it will pay for your investment in the mill.
