Massey 1540 Split now won't go togeter

case310350 · Mar 18, 2018

Split a massey 1540 to repair transmission plug. Now trying to put back together. everything is level, even. rotated flywheel to align splines. Not sure whats hitting, the pilot shaft and hole or the splines. I get it to go so it almost meets the top studs, about 1.5 inches but won't go further. Spent about 5 hours so far. May have to call in dealer at 100/hr min 4 hrs ouch. all for a 10.00 plug.

Open to any suggestions.

If it has 2 stage clutch . did you use an alignment shaft to install the clutch assembly to the flywheel? not familiar with that model but I have had good luck turning the pto shaft while trying to get it to close up. they can be a pain in the rectum sometimes, other times the almost fall togather

Don't force it as it will warp clutch plates.
