I've done it twice in the past year. Count on taking it apart one day and putting it back together the next. Another person to help goes a long way with lifting the hood off and aligning the engine when putting back together. Other than the tie rod ends and clutch alignment tool its all basic tools,I think you use almost three socket sizes exclusively. Buy your bearings and clutch kit ahead of time. You can buy the plastic alignment tool for a few bucks, makes life easier. Also buy yourself four long bolts and cut the heads off for aligning the engine and bell housing. I forget the size. really makes the job easy. If you take the front axle and wheels off the engine it really gets easy as the front wheels don't go every which way but loose.

Most importantly you need a good flat surface without cracks and bumps, nice flat concrete is best. Tons of info in the archives about the job. You want to find the bearing part numbers, and print out a section about which way the clutch faces. The pilot bearing is easy if you remove the flywheel and knock it out the back end. Use a socket close in size to the bearing and a hammer. Block of wood laid flat will get it back in. Its pretty much a lot of wrenching, nothing too technical, that why I could do it. Go for it.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
