Serial Number Tag
Changing the bolster on a Cub. Looking for pointers on removing tag without damaging it and reinstalling it. Thanks

Re: Serial Number Tag
use a putty knife to get behind the tag to hit the rivet, sometimes they will come out, sometimes they shear off, just use new rivets

Re: Serial Number Tag
I prefer to center punch the rivet and drill off the head. This allows removal of the plate, then the rivets have to be drilled out.

Re: Serial Number Tag
George Willer had a "How To" post that used Tim's technique. His "How To" post is still there, but the pictures are missing. It is short, so below is a cut and paste of his method. I used it and it worked for me.
"I had just started this job and decided to get my camera since we've discussed it before. The thin putty knife closest to the tag has a narrow notch cut in it with a cutoff wheel. Then additional putty knives can be driven between it and the casting to walk the rivets out unharmed and ready to be re-used."

Re: Serial Number Tag
I tore mine with a putty knife.
If you have a Dremel tool I would tape the tag and try to weaken or remove completely the head of the rivet first with Dremel

Re: Serial Number Tag
The notch in the putty knife makes it work much like a claw hammer, reducing the chances and extent of damage to the tag.
I've never needed to remove one. But the punch and drill option sounds pretty good.
