Gentlemen,
I am working on a 1948 MH44K with the Massey 260 4 cylinder engine. I just rebuilt the brakes and had to replace both of the brake shaft seals. All along I have had a substantial leak around the input shaft seal and am unsure of how to replace it. My question is how do I disconnect the coupling hubs and chain so that I can get to the seal, and do I need to move the engine forward to help? My I&T shop manual shows nothing concerning this procedure. I Know that I have to locate a better shop manual. This thing has been an on-going project since 2005. This is a working tractor. I appreciate any assistance given concerning this matter.
Regards,
Vince
