[Carpetbagger]

I'm a new member, having found this site from an OCC member answering me on another tractor site.

My problem is putting a driveline back together after replacing several parts that were rusted and seized. Now I need to reassemble the driveline and anticipate having trouble compressing the heavy spring on the shaft down far enough to get the roll pins inserted in the drive shaft. I was wondering if any of you that have done this before have any special techniques or tools to make this easier. The OCC member that replied to me called himself jimmychew, but that may have been his username on the other site. I couldn't find his name on a search here.

Thanks for any help.
