Clutch job on backhoe question

Nyquil Junkie · Mar 28, 2020

I'm not in need of a clutch job on the backhoe yet (63/64 4000 industrial) but while I was under it poking around... I got to thinking, if the thing needs split to put a new clutch in it one day, do we have to take the hoe, loader, and all that subframe rig off before it can be split, or can you do it with the how and loader on the tractor?

I have a ford 1801 which is basically the
same as yours. I had to a clutch job. I
took the hoe off, but that was it. I
unblocked the frame from the rear axle,
split the tractor, did the clutch and put I
back together. Was the easiest clutch I
ever did having that frame on to support
the engine.

So the loader and frame keep the engine end of the tractor supported and in place while you push the rear end back?

Yep. Straight back and straight forward.
Nice and easy. Engine doesnt tip either?

I used three floor jacks, one on each frame
and one for the trans. You could use a
bottle jack on the frame if needed.
