Pretty sure I posted a while back (2-3
months, maybe) about my neighbor's 3000
that stripped the TLC hub and input shaft
splines.
He called today, wanting advice... there's
a brass (?) washer a few inches inside
that has dropped down, and won't let the
replacement shaft slide all the way in to
place. That's the thrust washer isn't it?
I'm SURE I mentioned it to him, and told
him to have the transmission vertical.
Too late now. What's his next step? He
says he'd have to move stuff and then move
the rear half of the tractor outside to
swing it up. If he did that, could the
washer be maneuvered into place and the
shaft installed? Or is he looking at a
teardown?
