The maximum allowable side clearance on an 1-1/8 SAE 6B (sliding) spline fit is .002" with no more tha .006" out of parallel per foot. That's darn little filing. TOH [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd think I'd want a new shaft anyway.. once twisted.. who knows when it may twist more or fracture... [Reply]  [No Email]

Drain the oil, disconnect brake linkages, muffler mount, PTO shifter, and any rear wiring, unbolt the center section, and roll the two halves apart. One man can do it with no problems using a jack stand and floor jack. I suggest finding a nice smooth and level concrete surface for the job :idea: Probably 1-2 hours to split and another 1-2 to reconnect everything if there are no stubborn fasteners.....

Don't forget to put it back in before you bolt it all back together! [Reply]  [No Email]

No tin, wires, gas lines, radius rods or tie rods to deal with. I block the front half up under the tranny then use a floor jack to roll the rear half back. I Always use wooden cribbing to block up a tractor as I just do not trust steel on steel (or cast iron) jackstands. What is wrong that you have to split it? Photo is not of a rear split or even of an N but does show proper cribbing with wood blocking. [Reply]  [No Email]
