Had a hell of a time getting the pto shaft to slide back on & 2 of the 3 bolts will start, the other is a quarter off. I went to put the shift cover with the stick in & it doesn't bolt up. Seem the hydraulic top is different from the mechanic lift top. What were they thinking when they changed that? Anyone got a different top I can get. & I need a fill plug that goes on the right front corner. [Reply]   [No Email]

I took the dewalt grinder with the cut off wheel to shorten the shaft that once drove the mechanical lift. Flushed the transmission out with deisel fuel & drained it. I then reinstalled the pto shaft, had anther guy with a wrench on the crank to turn the engine as I was pushing the shaft into the splines of the clutch. I crossed my fingers after the rear of the tractor was assembled back together & the oil from the transmission was strained & dumped back into the tractor. Before I even started this adventure if I will say that, I noted where the gear lever was before taking it out. I had a hard time getting it back in, so I was able to get both the top & bottom ranges of the 6-speed transmission. I never started the tractor till the lever felt like it was in the right spot & was able to go thru the gears without a problems as it was before. With the gear lever in position, I started the tractor to see how everything sounded & try pulling forward. With the clutch down, I selected a gear, all it did was grind. I shut the engine off & started it in gear. It didn"t move with the clutch down, been when released, it would move, but sound like the gears were not meshing with each other. I shut the engine off & went to the house frustrated. Definitely going to loose some sleep tonight thinking about what I did wrong. The tractor worked fine before I even started this project. If hopes of making it more resourceful, I think I just created another headache. Could I have damaged the throw out bearing when I put the pto shaft back in? The pto works fine.
