Removing main drive shaft to replace new seals on petrol MF 35 dual clutch . My manual does not give enough specs for my model. I have removed bottom plate to PTO shaft, removed clips and removed quill assembly .looking at posts they say this PTO shaft is to be removed from the front so the PTO gear will drop down to allow upper drive shaft to be removed. This doesn't seem possible as I can only move it so far before it hits on the back of PTO gear. The Pto shaft as a thread inside which I thought might be for a tool to remove it but to me it looks more like its for replacement to get it back thru the drive gear. I say this because to me its looking more and more that I need to split the transmission from the rear to be able to slide this shaft backwards to disengage the drive gear is this correct as I don't want to force it.
 
Well I have a 35 petrol or 2 and have replaced the tranny seals in a to35 but not the standard motors petrol. I
remember reading that some models of the Massey had to have the gear shift cover removed in order for the 2 gears to
unmesh.Could there be sludge under the lower gear keeping it from going low enough?? Sorry no one can help.
 
thanks 2 tractors no mess behind the gear to stop it, I will be going to split trans next week as I think this is the way unless we get info before hand
 
well I can tell u it was a big job, I did have to split trans to push the PTO shaft backwards to allow the gear to drop down but the job is now done. Also done rear main seal as this was the same as drive shaft seals hard as a cats head and just old. Replacing rear pto shaft seal as this is in the same condition and now replacing draft boot, well opened a can of worms now. I have learnt heaps from what started of as clutch replacement. when I have time I will post each part as it will save others heaps of time and agro
