We got the clutch installed in my 1550. The release bearing was seized solid, consequently not much left of the pressure plate fingers. The mechanic that helped do the job insisted on just unbolting the housing at the back of the motor, this tractor has Hydra Power. So we did that & pulled the motor ahead, refaced the flywheel, installed a new release bearing, pilot bearing, clutch disc, & pressure plate, & slid the motor in.. Worked perfect. Of course we pulled the PTO shaft out. everything works perfect.. While the motor was out we installed a power steering motor, at the knuckle on the side of the motor where the shaft s join about a foot from the steering box & a hydraulic ram by the tie rods, & WOW one finger steering now. Will make a huge difference because there is a loader on the tractor..
Again thanks to everyone for your help & suggestions both with the clutch & installing the power steering
