Hi Guys, is it very hard to split a TEA20 to replace the bearing and seal on the main shaft between gearbox and clutch housing as there is oil coming out of the clutch housing. How hard is it to replace the bearing/seal ?

As they have said the worst part is unfastening all those old screws after 50 years. I have a full list of what you need to do if you would like it, just email me and I will send it..John

Remember to block the front axle so that it does not pivot when you split the tractor.

Hey there Rus;
While you have it "split", you might
as well check the clutch for wear.
"Just in case".

Biggest hassle is undoing 50 year old rusted nuts and bolts! Aside from that, no big deal. Disconnect the radius rods, steering drag links at the drop arms, around the bell housing, chock the rear wheels and run the front half forward on a floor trolley jack.

Make sure you also check starter the ring gear, clutch and engine crankshaft rear main seal which can be changed without removing the sump/oil pan, as the oil may be coming from the engine.

All good advice here! But--be sure you have the rear half tightly supported on some kind of stand so it doesn't fall on ya, and watch the front half! it will FLOP on you so fast, it'll make yer head swim, and the blood will flow! Its best to support the front half in a chain hoist, on a stand, similar to a childs swing set that ya put out in yer yard! And, that swing set probably isn't strong enough to hold it, but it has been tried. I worked as a tractor mechanic for some years, and we "honored" those machines, when we had to split them! And, as long as you have it apart, take the advice offered in other letters. Replace everything in there-it'll save hours of labor later on! Be mighty careful!! Rustyj
