Worked on the 1959 TO35 this weekend. I was going to remove the top cover, put some new bushings in the lift shaft, adjust the hydraulics and button it back up. Didn't turn out that way! Lift shaft was pretty rough and has what looks to be cracks running all over it. They run down both sides and there is a curving crack running up into the splines..its a bit hard to see in the picture. Time for a new shaft. Next I tried to remove the pump to clean everything out. Somehow the coupler sleeve that is pressed into the rear housing had moved forward about an inch which meant the pump was trapped. I couldn't get enough clearance to lift either end of the pump up and I couldn't drive the sleeve back into the housing with the pump in the way. I thought this was really odd... Maybe someone was installing the PTO shaft at some point, got it hung up on the sleeve and started pounding? So anyway, I split the tractor between the transmission and rear housing which got the pump out. Drove the sleeve back in but then noticed the PTO shaft needle bearing was shot. Off came the axle trumpet so I could pull the bearing retainer out. I then noticed the needle bearing at the rear of the transmission that supports the PTO shaft inside the countershaft was also shot! I think I'm going to have to remove the transmission from the engine and pull the PTO shaft out to get that one fixed. Might as well do the input seals while I'm in there at this point.
