How to separate clutch from flywheel?

I'm having no luck removing the clutch shaft from my Farmall M, despite having removed the clutch linkage (release shaft, fork, etc.). The clutch shaft bumps up against the transmission driving shaft coupling before the splined end clears teh driven member, and the trans couplings bumps up against the clutch shaft before it's free of the transmission driving shaft. There's not enough play to get one past the other (I've tried every point of the compass). I thought as a last-ditch effot I'd pull the clutch from the flywheel (may as well check the facings as long as I've got this far), but it won't budge. I've removed the six cap screws and put three of them in the holes provided to compress the clutch. It's not moving. How can I get the clutch free of the flywheel?

Thanks -

Are you saying the clutch is still stuck to the flywheel after you have all the bolts loose?? If so, I guess you need a helper, like a pry bar to jar it loose. Also, I gather you have everything else loose, including the clutch release sleeve carrier that is bolted to the top of the clutch housing. You won't be able to tilt the shaft to get it out until you take that carrier loose. The shaft has to be tilted down before it will come out. You have to pull it back as far as it will go, which clears the pilot bearing, but not the clutch plate. then tilt it down and it should come out. I worked and worked with mine and then all at once it was in my hand! Also, are you sure you have the clutch completely compressed? You can't tilt the shaft unless the clutch is fully compressed.

What year M do you have? On early models
clutch & plate dropped out bottom. Later models, you have to split tractor.

Hi Artie -

Based on the serial number plate, it's a 1946. Service manual suggests everything can be removed through the bottom.

Ah, Dave, there's the rub! It seems an either-or proposition - you have to get one off before the other will have room to clear. The transmission coupling doesn't quite clear the drive shaft before it bumps into the clutch shaft. Hmmm ...
