Spent the weekend working in the 400 again. It needed to be split and the throw out bearing carrier replaced. When I put this engine in I knew this one was bad but couldn't find one. Turned out the input shaft carrier was bad too. So I replaced that as well. My grandson Jordan helped.
That tube on the new one was stuck in the carrier and I thought it was supposed to be there because it was right and wouldn't hold in the other part. But when I got the new carrier it was obvious what was wrong. So hopefully that will take care of that problem and I won't have to split this tractor again. The bolts are about worn out from taking it apart so often. Lol
Also got a power steering unit from the same place. Traded for both for some future welding on his equipment.
Got to use the trusty DC too.
Almost back together.

All together and working.
I managed to pinch the oil pressure tube and the thermostat is sticking, so a little left to do yet. Sure do hope this is the last time I have to dig into this one as it's been a real money pit. But I think I've got it all worked out now.
