Farmall M engine removal

Wally4000 · Aug 6, 2014

Removed the front bolster and side rails. Removed 2 long bolts at top of clutch housing. What am I missing here that needs to come out? The IT manual sucks in this area.
Thanks in advance. Wally

Remove the starter and check for a bolt inside there. I can't remember if the M is one of the models that has that "hidden" bolt or not. Won't hurt to check.

According to my manual the Farmall H has that bolt behind the starter. You may have dowels making it hard to free the engine. Make sure your hoist will handle that weight. Hal

Did you remove the clutch? If not it maybe causing it to hang up. Thereare 2 dowls on right in front of serial number plate the other below oil filter just above oil pan. Just removed a md engine a few weeks ago and had a heck of a time getting it out because of dowls. Jim

Well, first off put those two long bolts back in, finger tight then back em off a few turns, they will help you guide it off. There is no hidden bolt on an M. Put a little tension on your hoist and tap on the long bolts. You might have to jiggle the hoist up and down a little. Keep hitting the bolts while you jiggle, once it loosens up a bit pry your way around the bell housing remembering to loosen the bolts as you go.
Good luck and be careful

its the dowel pins that are holding it on each side. don"t need a manual to pull an engine.
