350 TA Split the tractor and replaced the ring gear without removing the flywheel or clutch. Now I can get it to within about 3/4" and no closer. If I carefully try to pull it together with bolts (which I know is not a good idea)it will lock up and I can not turn the fan. So, I know it"s not going to work that way and I don"t want to break something by doing that. I split it several years ago to replace the TA and never had a problem like this. I did not replace the pilot bearing
I"m obviously doing something wrong, missing a step somewhere. I can not see anything in the gap between the engine and trans housing to prevent this from going together. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Tom/Idaho
