OK, so my JD 2640 tractor with the 276 4-cyl engine needed rebuilding. So we split the tractor. While we were splitting it, it was very difficult to separate the engine from the back half of the tractor.......it came apart, but it was quite difficult to get it apart. We finally did, and rebuilt the engine.
Now it's time to re-bolt the engine back on. We have a new clutch, new pilot bearing, new throw out bearing. It is very difficult to get back on.....we spent a good half a day trying to get everything to align so that it will go back together. Re-align, re-align, etc. After hours of trying, we finally get it aligned with the bolts on....but it is still going together very difficult.
We are to the point that the clutch is on the splines, but it is so difficult that we are afraid that the trans shaft will force out the pilot bearing.
Is there some secret that we do not know about getting this back together?
Have you guys experienced a similar problem?
What to do?
Thanks in advance.
