Hello to all from beautiful NW Arkansas. This is my first, of hopefully many helpful, posts.
I am about to embark on my first tractor clutch replacement. The information from my research of this site has given me the confidence needed to give it a go.
The tractor is a [b:362abb0d56]1977 IH 674 Diesel[/b:362abb0d56], Row Cropper (?) with a [b:362abb0d56]Mount-O-Matic 2250[/b:362abb0d56] front loader. It has the adjustable rear hubs.
I have purchased the IH International Case 674 Dealer Service Workshop Manual and the IH International Case 674 Shop Manual.
My main question for the forum is what else to look into, replace, repair or otherwise maintenance while the tractor is split and down for repairs. Also, if any of you have completed this task and have any tips, tricks or things to watch out for, I would greatly appreciate your input as well. If anyone has, or would like to provide, a step by step procedure for the clutch replacement it would be helpful as well. My manuals may have that info, but having a back-up or alternate view is always a good idea.
I will also be repairing the park/hand brake. Any suggestions on this process would help too. I have an extensive background of mechanical maintenance and extensive repair. I am a little more experienced than the average DIY'er.
If I need to provide any further information to assist in your responses, please just let me know.
