Hi guys, I have a 1942 Case "VC" with a continental F124 motor, the motor had a slight rod knock and I work at a machine shop and I ordered the rebuild kit from enginetech... well how do I go about pulling the motor? what should I support it with? I have the radtior, gas tank, linkage, and all that stuff removed, I just don't know where to go from there when it comes to supporting it and pulling it apart!

Please help!!

Thanks!

Brad; Splitting the VC is a little different from the VA series. All you need to do is to support the tractor under the front of the transmission case. Remove the hood, gas tank and radiator. You will have to remove the front steering bolster which bolts to the front of the engine frame. Unbolt the engine frame from the 6 studs at the front of the bellhousing and 1 engine mount bolt below the front pulley. All these parts can be handled without a hoist. Next unbolt the bellhousing from the front of the transmission housing with an engine hoist supporting the engine and roll the engine forward. The bellhousing can't be removed until the flywheel is removed... Gene

Don't know about a VC in particular but perhaps this manual for the VA series will help. Look in different groups for splitting variations..... click an image to enlarge.

I fabricated a similar set of splitting stands from scrap metal that I had laying around the shop.

With the stands and a roll-around shop crane splitting a small tractor is an easy one-man job.

What if I used a motor hoist to hold the back end up? would that work or is it just not safe? I honestly don"t really have the welding equipment to make a support brace, are there any other options?

Thanks!

Use couple of cement blocks on each side of tractor just behind bell housing lay 4x4's or 6x6's across them under torque tube, build it up equally on both sides untill they are supporting rear of tractor just behind bellhousing under torque tube. Then use your engine hoist to remove motor and front axel. Besure to block back tires front and rear so that they cannot move.HTH Keith

PS to bad you aren't close to me I would let you use my frame..

I take a couple of 6x6 blocks and lay them on the floor of the shop. I put a good jack stand on them . All this goes under the transmission just behind the bellhousing on the flat spot.This acts as a tripod when the egine is pulled. Use a engine hoist to remove the front pedestal, and then remove the engine.
