The torque converter comes out the front after you break the tractor
in half and the clutch discs come with it on a hub.To take it out, I
took out a bolt from the converter and put a small chain on it and
put it back on. I used the chain hoist to catch the weight. After
examining the discs I put them back on. Then I used a jump cord
string on the front of the converter, and a ratchet and a strap on
the back. The trick was you had to get the teeth of the discs to line
up with the splines in the hub that was still in the tractor. I got
it as close to dead center as I could then I put the first disc right
up against the hub in the tractor. This way it created a "loose" grab
on it. Then I used a thin screw driver to ply on the edges of the
disc to line up the disc with the hub groves. Once aligned, I jiggled
the front of the torque converter and pushed slightly at the same
time. To my amazement...it worked!! I did that same thing with the
rest of the discs. They all went in quite well. I walked away feelin
proud of myself
