Is you MF 16 a model 1665?
I'm currently negotiating on a 1665 and may have some questions for you if i'm able to land it

What we did to my MF 14 to get the yolk off the hydro, was first coat it with PB-Blaster, then took a tire iron with a wide flat end and put the flat end against the yolk on the trans. side, rested the handle against the trans. and hit the end of the handle with a hammer. We also used the tire iron to pry against the yolk. I'm not sure that this method for removing the yolk would work in all situations and you have to be carful to not damage the trans. housing.Hey all been a stent since I have posted. I have two problems. I am restoring a 16 and I can't seem to figure out how to get the yolk off the hydro unit itself. I already have got the set screw out it just won't come off! Frustrating....

To remove the hydro handle, I coated the bushings with PB-Blaster, then used a air hammer to drive the shaft out of one bushing so that the shaft would drop out of the frame. The air hammer did mess up the end of the shaft a bit, but not in a way that will hurt the operation of the shaft, and it was nice to get it off.
Hope this helps.

Our air hammer is actually a air chisel. It has a pin that is like a punch, that works great for driving things.What we did to my MF 14 to get the yolk off the hydro, was first coat it with PB-Blaster, then took a tire iron with a wide flat end and put the flat end against the yolk on the trans. side, rested the handle against the trans. and hit the end of the handle with a hammer.
